The basketball player Caitlin Clark brought her golf skills and a lot of attention to the LPGA circuit on Wednesday when she participated in a pro-am that drew a larger audience than the circuit often receives for its tournament rounds.
Nelly Korda, the top-ranked woman’s golfer, is playing for the first time in over two months after a minor neck injury, and Clark played nine holes with her.
She and Annika Sorenstam, the host of an event known as The Annika, played the back nine at Pelican Golf Club.
The WNBA rookie of the year was asked whether she learned anything from Korda in a quick chat with Golf Channel.
Clark said, “I’ve watched, and she’s amazing.” “But golf is challenging.” After the pro-am, Clark signed autographs for hundreds of admirers, and the gallery crowded behind the ropes to watch her.
