NBA star Caitlin Clark, fresh off a Rookie of the Year campaign, is making the most of her first professional offseason by pursuing one of her other passions: golf. Last week, she took part in an LPGA Pro-Am. This week, she’s making a surprise appearance on the PGA Tour.
According to a report from Golf Channel, the current Indiana Fever star and former Iowa Hawkeyes standout will participate in the 2024 RSM Classic’s Pro-Am on Wednesday.
Caitlin Clark’s golf handicap (plus 5 other things we learned about her)
Clark is expected to play the back nine at Sea Island’s Plantation Course. She’s scheduled to join a group featuring two-time major winner and fellow Iowan Zach Johnson and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan. That group tees off the front nine at 8:30 a.m. ET, according to the official RSM Pro-Am tee sheet.
Last week, Clark made a much-talked about appearance in the pro-am at the LPGA’s The Annika, playing alongside Nelly Korda and tournament host Annika Soernstam. We learned a lot about Clark’s golf game at The Annika, including her current handicap.
This won’t be the first time Clark has played in a PGA Tour pro-am. Last year, she teed it up in the 2023 John Deere Classic Pro-Am. Johnson played the role of her playing partner in that outing as well.
You can watch highlights of Clark’s Wednesday pro-am appearance on Golf Channel at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET.
