Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is preparing to swap her basketball sneakers for golf shoes but she’s doing it with her trademark humor. Ahead of her much-anticipated appearance at the 2025 LPGA Annika Pro-Am, Clark made fans laugh with a playful promise: “If I somehow hit a hole-in-one, I’m retiring from golf on the spot undefeated!”
The 23-year-old WNBA sensation, known for her incredible shooting range and competitive fire, admitted she’s both excited and nervous about teeing up alongside professional golfers. “Basketball is my comfort zone,” Clark said with a grin. “Golf? That’s a different story. My drives might end up closer to the fans than the fairway.”
Teammates and fans immediately jumped on social media to react. Fever forward Aliyah Boston joked, “As long as she doesn’t start calling plays on the green, we’re good.” Others praised Clark for bringing her infectious personality and cross-sport enthusiasm to the event.
The LPGA Annika Pro-Am, set for later this year, will feature a mix of top golfers, celebrities, and athletes from other sports. Clark’s participation continues her growing profile beyond basketball, as she’s already become one of the most recognizable names in women’s sports.
While Clark insists she’s just “hoping to make contact with the ball,” fans know her competitive streak could turn a friendly round into another highlight moment. “I might not win,” she said, “but I’ll definitely have fun trying.”
Whether she’s draining threes or slicing drives, Caitlin Clark’s charisma guarantees she’ll be one of the stars of the show and maybe, just maybe, she’ll keep that retirement promise if lightning strikes on the course.
