Caitlin Clark, star player for the Indiana Fever, is proving her versatility as she dives into golf during the WNBA offseason. Following an early playoff exit, Clark humorously expressed her intention to pursue a professional golf career, but her passion for the sport is no joke.
Clark has been working with Martha Foyer-Faulconer, a former LPGA player, to refine her swing. Foyer-Faulconer has praised Clark’s talent and work ethic, noting that her dedication to improvement is evident. “She wants to excel in everything she does,” Foyer-Faulconer remarked, highlighting Clark’s drive and enthusiasm for learning.
The coaching sessions have revealed Clark’s natural aptitude for golf, a quality that, according to Foyer-Faulconer, can’t be fabricated. “Some of this stuff you can’t teach people. They just either have it or they don’t,” she noted, emphasizing Clark’s innate skills on the course.
Excitingly, Clark is set to compete in the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge Pro-Am event on November 13, where she will partner with top-ranked golfer Nelly Korda and legendary player Annika Sorenstam. This upcoming event will provide a unique opportunity for Clark to showcase her talent in a different sport.
As she continues to gain recognition for her achievements in basketball, it will be fascinating to see how Caitlin Clark applies her competitive spirit and skills to golf in the months ahead.
