Caitlin Clark Fever Hits LPGA Pro-Am: WNBA Star’s Takeover Eclipses Even Legendary Nelly Korda

Caitlin Clark’s popularity has transcended the basketball court, creating waves in the sports world and now even the LPGA Pro-Am circuit. Her recent participation in The Annika Pro-Am alongside golf superstar Nelly Korda has sparked significant excitement.

Clark, the WNBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year, has already left a mark on sports viewership and social media, drawing massive attention to every event she attends. Her presence at the tournament has led to a reported 1200% increase in ticket sales, a testament to her growing influence.

Fans are eager to see how she performs next to Korda, the world’s top-ranked golfer, who has similarly captivated audiences in women’s golf with a record-breaking season, notably drawing nearly 2 million viewers for her win at the Chevron Championship.

But Clark’s involvement in The Annika isn’t solely about the sport; it’s also an opportunity for her to champion women’s empowerment. Before the tournament, she is set to attend the Women’s Leadership Summit, where she’ll promote growth and representation for women in sports.

Reflecting on her reasons for joining, Clark described golf as a longtime passion and expressed her admiration for legends like Annika Sorenstam. Her participation blends her love for the game with her dedication to meaningful causes. With her star power lighting up the event, Clark is set to make her mark not just in the Pro-Am but as a powerful advocate for women’s sports.
