WNBA star Caitlin Clark is taking full advantage of her first professional offseason by exploring her love for golf. After an exciting Rookie of the Year season in the WNBA, Clark is now shifting her focus to the golf course. She recently participated in an LPGA Pro-Am event, and this week, she is making an unexpected appearance at the 2024 RSM Classic’s Pro-Am on the PGA Tour.
According to Golf Channel reports, the Indiana Fever player and former Iowa Hawkeyes standout will join the Pro-Am festivities at Sea Island’s Plantation Course on Wednesday. Clark is set to play the back nine of the course, where she will be part of a group that includes two-time major champion Zach Johnson and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan. The group is scheduled to tee off at 8:30 a.m. ET from the front nine.
This isn’t Clark’s first experience in a PGA Tour Pro-Am. She previously played in the 2023 John Deere Classic Pro-Am, where she was paired with Zach Johnson once again. Their collaboration in that event made headlines, and it’s no surprise that Clark’s return to a high-profile golf event has garnered attention. Her golf skills continue to impress fans, and her passion for the sport shines through, even during the off-season.
At last week’s LPGA Pro-Am at The Annika, Clark made waves with her performance alongside golf icons like Nelly Korda and Annika Sörenstam. During that event, we also learned more about Clark’s golf game, including details about her handicap, offering a glimpse of the multi-sport athlete’s versatility.
Golf fans can catch a glimpse of Clark’s performance in the RSM Classic Pro-Am when highlights are aired on Golf Channel at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET. It’s clear that Caitlin Clark isn’t just a basketball sensation, but a rising star in the world of golf as well.
