WNBA star Caitlin Clark will once again put down a basketball and pick up a golf club later this fall. The Indiana Fever guard is scheduled to compete in another LPGA Tour event next month – the Annika pro-am, organizers confirmed.
The 2025 Annika pro-am returns to Belleair, Florida, and begins on November 12. LPGA Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam will also resume her hosting duties this year.
The Annika tournament marks this season’s final full-field regular-season event. The tournament has a purse of $3.25 million.

Reflecting on his experience in 2024, Clark described it as “an amazing time.”
“I had a great time at The Annika last November, competing in the pro-am alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game,” Clark said in a statement.

“I am honored to be an ambassador for a company in Gainbridge that is so committed to elevating women’s sports. I can’t wait to return to Tampa in November to play in the Pro-Am with the best women golfers in the world.”

After earning 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year honors, injuries sidelined Clark for most of the 2025 season. She averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game over 13 appearances this past season.
Despite Clark’s absence, the Fever managed to win their first playoff series in a decade, defeating the Atlanta Dream in the first round. The Aces later defeated the Fever in the semifinals before winning their third championship in four years.

Sorenstam recalled his time playing with Clark last year and praised the NCAA Division I leader’s “passion for golf.”
“It was an honor to play in the pro-am with Caitlin last year. The crowd was amazing and we are excited for her return to The Annika in November,” Sorenstam said in a statement. “She added such a dynamic to our event and her passion for golf and competitiveness was fun to witness. I look forward to having her back and continuing to introduce the great game of golf to the next generation.”
