After months away from the court, Caitlin Clark is back in competition — but this time, she’s swapping her sneakers for golf shoes. The Indiana Fever superstar made her highly anticipated return at the 2025 LPGA “The Annika” Pro-Am, drawing excitement from fans and fellow athletes alike. Known for her fiery competitive spirit and precision on the basketball floor, Clark is now showcasing that same focus in an entirely different arena.
Last year, Clark turned heads when she made her Pro-Am debut alongside golf legend Nelly Korda, LPGA icon Annika Sorenstam, and teammates Dan Towriss and Jason Rickard. Together, the group posted an impressive 10-under-par score, setting the stage for what has quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity appearances in LPGA history. This year, Clark returned to the event with even more confidence — once again partnering with Korda on the front nine before teaming up with rising star Lauryn Nguyen on the back.
The LPGA’s spotlight on Clark throughout the afternoon was impossible to miss. Even away from the WNBA court, she continues to be a magnet for fans and media attention. Her combination of athletic talent and personality has made her one of the most recognizable figures in women’s sports, and the league made sure to highlight every swing, smile, and competitive exchange. For fans, it wasn’t just about golf — it was about seeing their favorite player back in her element: performing under pressure with the poise of a pro.
It’s been a long wait for Fever fans, who haven’t seen Clark in action since mid-July, when her season ended prematurely due to injuries. Her presence at “The Annika” marks her first competitive outing since then, and it’s clear she’s using this time to recharge, reconnect, and reignite her love for the game. Even though the setting is different, the spark is the same — Caitlin Clark remains a competitor through and through.
As the LPGA tournament kicks off later this week, all eyes will be on how Clark’s golf appearance might signal her readiness for a full return to professional basketball. One thing’s for sure: whether it’s draining threes or lining up putts, Caitlin Clark continues to prove that greatness translates — no matter the sport or stage.
