‘Excited’ Caitlin Clark Sums Why She Accepted Annika Sorenstam’s Request in Just 4 Words Amid Pro-Am Hype
The LPGA Tour season is about to wrap up! The ANNIKA Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican tees off on November 14, 2024, leading up to the grand finale at the CME Group Tour Championship. This is the second time that legend Annika Sorenstam is hosting the event. We will have sensational players like Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, Lilia Vu, and others eyeing the $3.25 million purse. Not only are the 4 days of competition going to be exciting, but the Pro-AM of this one is going to be stunning. All thanks to the WNBA star, Caitlin Clark.
She appeared at a PGA Tour Pro-AM at the 2023 John Deere Classic, but her appearance this time is more significant. She will be supporting the Women’s Leadership Summit on Tuesday and then hitting balls on Wednesday. So, what made her accept the invitation? First her love for golf, and second, it’s an honor for her.
“Well, first of all, I love golf and being around it. I think it’s so cool and special and I grew up playing golf. Obviously Annika, a legend in this game. Like for me this is just fun. It’s cool,” said Clark in a Tuesday press conference at Pelican Golf Club. She then clarified that encouraging women sports isn’t just a job to her, instead, “This is an honor.” Clark is really excited to be there and be a part of it all.
