Caitlin Clark Joins Nelly Korda at LPGA Pro-Am

Nelly Korda, the world's top-ranked female golfer, teamed up with WNBA star Caitlin Clark at a pro-am event at Pelican Golf Club, drawing a massive crowd eager to see the basketball sensation. Clark, who recently earned Rookie of the Year honors in the WNBA, played nine holes with Korda and nine with golf legend Annika Sorenstam, showcasing her enthusiasm for golf despite admitting she's just an 'average golfer'. The event attracted more fans than many LPGA final rounds, highlighting Clark's growing influence in sports. Fans described Clark's ability to unite audiences, with many noting they began following women's basketball because of her impact. Clark, who joked about pursuing golf seriously, emphasized the fun of the experience while acknowledging her status as a fan rather than a professional golfer. The pro-am served as a platform to promote female athletes and their crossover appeal in sports.
