Gainbridge, a company located in Indiana and the presenting sponsor of the LPGA’s penultimate event on the season, has an endorsement agreement with Clark.
She also participated in a Gainbridge-hosted conference on women’s leadership. On Tuesday, Brittany Lincicome brought a basketball for Clark to sign for her girls, saying, “It can only help grow women’s golf.”
Korda hails from a family of elite athletes. Sebastian, her younger brother, is ranked No. 23 in the men’s tennis rankings, while Jessica, her elder sister, participated in the Solheim Cup.
Petr Korda, their father, was a tennis champion in the 1998 Australian Open. She said that while she had messaged Clark on Instagram, nothing compared to being within the ropes.
“It was really cool to see firsthand today the influence she has on people, bringing people out here, and how amazing of an influence she is just for sports,” Korda said.
