Are Caitlin Clark & Nelly Korda best friends? They shared the fairway this time last year, playing the 2024 Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. Clark was blown away by Korda’s skills, while the LPGA Tour star was amazed by the influence of the WNBA sensation. And both of them are going to return to action as they will pair up again at the Pelican Golf Club this week. To celebrate the occasion, the world’s #2 designed a special gift for Clark. And that got a priceless reaction from her.

In the press conference preceding their Pro-AM match, the LPGA Tour star was asked about the gift. Korda told the reporters, “Yeah, so I gifted her some shoes before the round, so hopefully she uses them. She did say — or did ask me if they’re going to make her golf better, and I was like, guaranteed.” Clark’s deadpan response turned the beautiful moment into a hilarious one. Then again, it also reflects on the competitive nature of the Indiana Fever point guard.

When asked if she had signed it, Korda replied, “No, I didn’t. I hope she uses them. I gave her a gift back of this little PE collection, which has been super fun to make. I’m very grateful. If you told me this, I don’t know, ten years ago when I was in the crows that I would have my own shoe and be here playing in front of everyone and inspiring the next generation, I would tell you you’re crazy, so it’s been a lot of fun.”

It seems that designing the shoes was a dream project for her. Even in the video where she introduced the shoes, Korda expressed how she was excited to share the design with everyone, as it’s about to officially launch on the Nike website. The shoes are worth $155 on the official website.
