(CNN) โ Apparently not satisfied with becoming one of the dominant forces in the WNBA, 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark is set to compete in a Pro-Am golf event in November.
The Indiana Fever superstar will appear at The Annika, the penultimate tournament on the LPGA Tour hosted by golf legend Annika Sรถrenstam from November 11-17.
As well as playing in the Pro-Am event on November 13, Clark will also feature as a panelist at the Womenโs Leadership Summit the day before as part of the event in Florida.
โI love golf so the opportunity to play in the Pro-Am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sรถrenstamโs name on it is so exciting,โ the 22-year-old said in a release. โIโm looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being part of the Womenโs Leadership Summit, and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika.โ
This will not be the first time that Clark has tried her hand at the sport having played in a Pro-Am event at the John Deere Classic in July 2023 alongside Ludvig ร berg and 2023 US Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson. Clark and her team finished five-under-par that day.
The rookie has just completed a historic season in the WNBA. Having been selected by the Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, Clark broke the league record for assists in a single season with 337, as well as the record for most three-pointers made by a rookie with 122.
Clarkโs performances helped the Fever make the postseason for the first time in eight years, where they were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the first round.
โI have been following Caitlinโs career during college and now on the WNBA stage, and what she is doing to bring attention to womenโs sports both on and off the court is outstanding,โ said Sรถrenstam.
โIโm excited to meet Caitlin and for her to join us at Pelican Golf Club in November in what will be an exciting week for womenโs sports.โ
