Caitlin Clark, the star guard for the Indiana Fever, recently took part in The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge pro-am tournament in Belleair, Florida, where her performance on the golf course quickly grabbed attention. Initially, Clark’s debut shot wasn’t quite as smooth as she had hoped—her first swing resulted in a mishit, nearly sending the ball toward a spectator. It was a shaky moment for the WNBA standout, but as the tournament continued, Clark regained her composure and delivered a remarkable recovery.
One of Clark’s shots, in particular, left both fans and professionals in awe. After shaking off the nerves from her early misstep, she launched an incredible drive that wowed the LPGA community. The LPGA Tour’s official social media account shared a slow-motion video of the shot, showcasing the power and precision behind Clark’s swing. The caption read, “What can’t @caitlinclark22 do?”—a sentiment shared by many who witnessed her impressive skills on the course.
Clark herself posted the slow-motion video to her Instagram, using it as a triumphant follow-up to her earlier botched shot. The response from her followers was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising her form and talent. Comments like “Very good swing!” and “She can do anything!” flooded in, with one user even humorously noting, “Lol, get rid of those first tee jitters!”
While it’s clear Clark may not be ready to pursue a professional golf career, her performance during the pro-am event showed that she’s certainly capable of holding her own in such a competitive setting. Her drive, in particular, demonstrated the kind of athletic prowess that extends beyond the basketball court. Even with her early mishap, Clark proved that she’s not just a one-trick pony, but a versatile athlete who can excel in multiple arenas.
As the LPGA aptly put it, Caitlin Clark’s latest foray into golf reinforces her status as an all-around athlete. While she may be better known for her basketball accomplishments, her impressive golf drive at The ANNIKA pro-am left no doubt that Clark’s talents extend far beyond the hardwood. Fans and fellow athletes alike will no doubt be watching her future endeavors closely, as it’s clear there’s not much Clark can’t do.
