Caitlin Clark was serious when she told reporters she would consider taking up golf in the offseason after the Indiana Fever's playoff loss at the hands of the Connecticut Sun.
Clark is scheduled to participate in Anika's pro-am next month. Annika is the penultimate tournament on the LPGA Tour schedule hosted by the legendary Annika Sorenstam. She will also be a panelist at the Women's Leadership Summit at Pelican Golf Club in Bellaire, Florida.

The Women's Leadership Summit is scheduled for November 12th, with the Pro-Am taking place the following day. Clark is an ambassador for Gainbridge, which owns the naming rights to the Fever and Indiana Pacers arenas. Gainbridge also sponsors LPGA events.
“I love the game of golf, so the opportunity to play pro-am in a tournament named after a legend like Annika Sorenstam is very exciting,” Clark said. “I look forward to seeing all of the LPGA players on the practice range, attending the Women’s Leadership Summit, and of course teeing up with Annika at the Pro-Am.”
