Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark continues to showcase her diverse skill set, even during the WNBA offseason. While she may be known for her basketball prowess, she’s now turning heads in the world of golf—albeit with a playful twist. After the Fever’s early playoff exit, Clark humorously hinted at a new career as a professional golfer. Although she wasn’t entirely serious, her passion for golf is undeniable. Clark’s talent on the course caught the attention of former LPGA player Martha Foyer-Faulconer, who has been helping the young athlete refine her swing in preparation for the LPGA’s The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican on November 13.
As Clark gears up for the prestigious event, Foyer-Faulconer, impressed by her dedication and rapid improvement, had high praise for the 22-year-old. “It’s part of her DNA because she’s going to do things well,” Foyer-Faulconer remarked to *Golfweek*, noting the impressive strides Clark has made in her golf game. “She’s incredibly driven and passionate, always striving to excel in whatever she tackles. It’s a joy to work with her.”
Foyer-Faulconer also highlighted Clark’s natural aptitude for the sport, suggesting that her skills go beyond just hard work and determination. “Some of this stuff you can’t teach people. They either have it or they don’t,” she explained, emphasizing the inherent talent that Clark possesses on the green. This unique blend of skill and drive has made Clark a quick learner, earning her admiration from those in the golf community.
As excitement builds for her appearance at The ANNIKA, many are eager to see how Clark will fare alongside golf greats like current world No. 1 Nelly Korda and legend Annika Sörenstam in the Pro-Am event. With her natural talent and relentless work ethic, Clark is poised to make a memorable impression, adding yet another chapter to her multifaceted athletic journey.
