The offseason has always been Caitlin Clark’s time to reset and enjoy the little things she can’t during the grind of the WNBA season. After a disappointing sophomore campaign that saw her play just 13 games, the Indiana Fever star is once again finding joy on the golf course.

Last week, she was spotted at Michael Jordan’s ultra-exclusive golf club, Grove XXIII, in Hobe Sound, Florida. And knowing Clark, she was likely fine-tuning her swing and getting ready for tomorrow’s Annika Pro-Am, where she’ll once again trade her basketball for a set of clubs.

This will be the second straight year that Caitlin Clark tees it up. The Fever star has always said, “I just don’t want to hit anyone with a golf ball. That’s my number one priority.”

Last year, that’s precisely what happened. During her drive on the 9th hole, Clark hooked a shot that struck a spectator, and the clip quickly went viral. Well, it did hit someone named Tracy Culbert on the shoulder, leaving a nasty bruise.

Ever the good sport, the WNBA ace later signed the golf ball that hit the fan and gifted it to them, turning an awkward moment into a story that fans still laugh about today. “I didn’t expect to give Caitlin Clark an assist. Her goal was not to hit a fan – whoopsie!” the fan joked on TikTok.

Clark competed in last year’s event in Belleair, Florida, where she played alongside Nelly Korda for the first nine holes and tournament host Annika Sorenstam for the back nine. But things will look a little different this year. Once again, she’ll play alongside Korda for the opening nine holes on Wednesday at Pelican Golf Club, but instead of Annika, Clark will play the back nine with sponsor invite Lauryn Nguyen.

This year’s tournament has a special surprise in store as Caitlin Clark will be joined by her Fever teammates Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham, who will serve as her celebrity caddies. They won’t be the only big names on the course either, with soccer legend Briana Scurry and NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar also expected to be in attendance. Don’t forget about Donald Trump’s niece, Kai, too!
