The WNBA star is participating in in The Annika pro-am again this year after her debut in 2024.
What is Caitlin Clark’s handicap? The Indiana Fever basketball star claims to be just an “average golfer”
Caitlin Clark is recovering and getting ready for the next WNBA season, but she hasn’t been putting her feet up in the offseason, instead she’s been taking part in pro-am golf tournaments.
She is back at the LPGA Pro-Am at Pelican Golf Course and has a large group of fans following her around the course once again.

Clark is a keen golfer and joked about turning professional after Indiana’s playoff elimination in 2024. She plays off a very respectable handicap of 16 and like most golfers in that range, she’s capable of making some great shots and some ugly ones, like last year.
Caitlin Clark nearly hits fan with botched tee shot
The 23-year-old was competing in the Pro-Am section of the LPGA Pro-Am at Pelican Golf Course in 2024. The annual competition is affectionately known as The Annika, in honour of tournament host Annika Sorenstam.
Clark badly hooked a tee shot and scooped the ball towards a wall of spectators, some of whom were barely five yards away. Fortunately, Clark managed to make enough of a connection to chip the ball over the crowd, avoiding a potentially serious injury.

In typically nonchalant style, she followed that up by pulling a second ball from her pocket and launching a clean drive straight down the fairway. Strangely enough, Clark had previously predicted that she might run in to some issues on the course.

“I’ve tried to practice as much as I can,” Clark said ahead of the event. “I’m just an average golfer. I’m going to hit some good, going to hit some bad. It is what it is, I’m just trying not to hit anyone standing outside the ropes.”
