Caitlin Clark Takes Her Game to the Greens: WNBA Star in LPGA Pro-Am

  • She will play in an LPGA Tour pro-am event in November.
  • The Indiana Fever star is branching out to golf during her offseason.

Caitlin Clark mania is set to hit women’s golf during the Indiana Fever star’s WNBA offseason, with the hoops sensation scheduled to play in a pro-am on the LPGA Tour next month.

Clark will headline a list of celebrities teeing it up on Nov. 13 at Pelican Golf Club in the Tampa Bay area, ahead of that week’s LPGA event, officially named the Annika driven by Gainbridge. She’ll also be a panelist on a women’s leadership summit hosted by the tournament the day before.

While this isn’t Clark’s first foray into the golf spotlight, this specific occasion came together strictly through her sponsorship with Gainbridge, Front Office Sports has learned.

In March, the Indianapolis-based financial services company signed Clark to an endorsement deal—less than a week after she announced she would enter the 2024 WNBA draft (the Fever had already won the draft lottery and top pick in December). Gainbridge took over naming rights of the Fever’s arena in 2021 and began sponsoring the LPGA event last year. The Fever led all WNBA teams in attendance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this season. And now, the company is hoping to cash in with Clark on the golf course, too.

In July 2023, Clark played in the pro-am event at the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic in Illinois, about an hour’s drive from Iowa’s campus. On that hot summer day, she drew huge crowds at TPC Deere Run. Clark was also featured in multiple YouTube videos posted by the Big Ten Network, chronicling her admiration for golf.

Tickets are on sale for November’s LPGA pro-am, but tournament officials don’t yet have an expected attendance number for the day Clark will play. There are also currently no plans to broadcast or livestream Clark’s round, which will likely draw heavy interest on social media, at the very least.
