Caitlin Clark, the standout star for the Indiana Fever, recently revealed her amusing worry about an upcoming pro-am golf event. While preparing for the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge celebrity pro-am at Pelican, Clark will be competing alongside the world’s No. 1 golfer, Nelly Korda, and legendary LPGA figure Annika Sorenstam. Despite her determination to perform well, Clark admitted she had one major concern about the competition: the risk of hitting someone with a golf ball.
Speaking candidly at the LPGA Women’s Leadership Summit, Clark expressed that although she has been working hard with a golf coach to improve her skills, her shots don’t always go where she intends. “I’m strong, and I can hit it. It just doesn’t usually go straight,” she said, explaining that her swings can sometimes veer off course. Her main priority for the event? Avoiding any accidents on the course. “I just don’t want to hit anyone with a golf ball,” she jokingly added.
Her humorous take on the situation caught the attention of fans, who praised her down-to-earth and self-aware approach. “Lmaooo, she’s effortlessly funny,” one fan commented, while another said, “So real.” Many appreciated how Clark was unafraid to admit she wasn’t a professional golfer. Some even pointed out that her remarks were relatable, showing that she was aware of her limits but still enjoying the experience. Clark herself even joked that her goal wasn’t to become a pro golfer, but simply to avoid scoring above 100 on the course, making her priorities clear.
Despite her lighthearted comments about her golfing abilities, Clark’s skill on the course shouldn’t be underestimated. Last October, she went viral after nearly landing a hole-in-one during a golf outing, proving that she does have some impressive talent. Still, her main concern going into this event is maintaining her sportsmanship and staying safe—both for herself and others on the course.
While Caitlin Clark is known for her basketball prowess, it’s clear she’s enjoying this golf adventure in a fun and humble way. Fans can expect more of her relatable humor and athletic charm as she participates in the pro-am, and who knows? She may just surprise everyone with a shot that goes straight down the fairway.
