Caitlin Clark is taking a long vacation from basketball for the first time since the start of her final collegiate season with
the Iowa Hawkeyes.
After finishing her Rookie of the Year season with the Indiana Fever, the WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick has no plans to participate in any domestic or international basketball leagues this offseason. However, Clark intends to hone her skills in a different sport. After her first WNBA season ended, Clark made a joke about wanting to play professional golf this offseason.
“Until it gets too cold in Indiana, that’s what I’m going to do. I have it, so I’ll play golf professionally,” Clark remarked. Clark declared on Monday that she would be taking part in the LPGA’s The Annika pro-am.at the Pelican Golf Club in Florida, driven by Gainbridge.
“I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the pro-am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name on it is so exciting,” Clark stated in a news release. “Gainbridge’s dedication to me, this event, Billie Jean King, and Parity Week demonstrate their leadership in promoting women’s athletics.
In addition to participating in the Women’s Leadership Summit and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika, I’m excited to see all the LPGA players on the driving range.”
