WNBA star Caitlin Clark put down his basketball again and picked up a golf club. The Indiana Fever guard returned to Pelican Golf Club to compete in the LPGA’s Annika Pro-Am this year.
Clark played Wednesday morning alongside Dan Towriss and Jordan Jackson. She was paired with two-time LPGA major winner Nelly Korda for the first several holes. Korda reflected on the enjoyable experience she had with Clark on the golf course in Florida with Clark.
“The first tee was almost out of a book. But it’s so much fun. It’s cool to see how many people she’s bringing together for another sport,” the world’s second-ranked women’s golfer told reporters.

Clark showed off his swing by sinking a putt approximately 35 feet, The Palm Beach Post reported. The shot led to applause from spectators and a fist pump from the two-time WNBA All-Star.
Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull cheered after watching their Indiana Fever teammate make the putt. Cunningham and Hull each wore caddy vests emblazoned with the word “Indiana.”

“Golf is a tough game,” Clark said. “When you’re an amateur, you go to the course and some days your putting is really good and some days your putting is really bad.”

“And some days your drive is really good and some days your drive is really bad. You never seem to have everything working at once, but you just figure it out and have fun. I don’t take golf seriously. I have fun with it.”
Clark’s time on the basketball court in 2025 was limited due to a series of injuries.
In September, Clark announced that she had been ruled out for the remainder of the season. She had already been sidelined since July 15, when she suffered a groin injury in a game against the Connecticut Sun.
But Clark revealed that she has made a full recovery and plans to compete in the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.
“Feeling back to 100% now, so I’ve been trying to take advantage of the fall weather in Indianapolis before it gets too cold,” the 24-year-old said, via The Palm Beach Post.
