WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark Once again, she put down her basketball and picked up a golf club. The Indiana Fever guard returned to Pelican Golf Club to compete in the LPGA Annika Pro-Am.

Clark started Wednesday morning alongside Dan Towriss and Jordan Jackson. She was paired with two-time LPGA major winner Nelly Korda for the opening holes. Korda reflected on the enjoyable experience she and Clark had on the Florida golf course with Clark.

“That first tee was almost out of a book. But it’s so much fun. It’s cool to see how many people she brings together around another sport,” the world’s second-ranked golfer told reporters.

Clark showed off his swing by sinking a putt from about 35 feet, the Palm Beach Post reported. The shot drew applause from spectators and a fist bump from the two-time WNBA All-Star.

Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull cheered after seeing their Indiana Fever teammate make the putt. Cunningham and Hull each wore caddy vests with the word “Indiana” emblazoned on them.

“Golf is a tough game,” Clark said. “When you’re an amateur, you go to the course, and some days your putting is really good. And some days your putting is really bad.

“And some days your driving is really good. And sometimes your driving is really bad. You never seem to have it all working out at once, but you just figure it out and have fun. I don’t take golf seriously. I have fun with it.”

Clark’s time on the basketball court in 2025 has been limited due to a series of injuries.

In September, Clark announced that she had been ruled out for the remainder of the season. She had already been out since July 15, when she injured her groin during a game against the Connecticut Sun.

But Clark revealed that she has made a full recovery and plans to participate in the 2026 FIBA ​​Women’s World Cup.

“Now I feel like I’m back to 100 percent, so I’m trying to enjoy the fall weather in Indianapolis before it gets too cold,” the 24-year-old said via the Palm Beach Post.
