Caitlin Clark fever will return to the LPGA Tour next month when the WNBA superstar makes another appearance at The Annika pro-am in Belleair, Fla.
Thousands of fans lined the fairways last year to watch the Indiana Fever guard compete in the event. One of Clark’s many endorsement deals is with Gainbridge, the presenting sponsor of The Annika event.
“I had an amazing time at The Annika last November and participating in the pro-am alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game,” Clark said in a news release on Thursday. “I’m honored to be an ambassador for a company in Gainbridge that is so committed to elevating women’s sports. I can’t wait to return to Tampa in November to play in the Pro-Am with the best women golfers in the world.”
The pro-am at Pelican Golf Club will take place on Nov. 12. Clark’s playing partners have not been announced.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Caitlin back to The Annika,” LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler told Golf Digest. “She’s a true superstar who brings incredible energy wherever she goes. The atmosphere at Pelican is going to be off the charts, and we’re excited for the LPGA fans to experience it.”
Clark played nine holes with Korda and nine with Sorenstam at last year’s competition.
“It was an honor to play in the pro-am with Caitlin last year,” Sorenstam said in the release. “The crowds were amazing, and we are excited. … She added such a great dynamic to our event, and her passion for golf and competitiveness were fun to witness firsthand. I look forward to having her back and continuing to introduce the great game of golf to the next generation.”
Clark, 23, is coming off a disappointing second season in the WNBA, limited to just 13 games due to injuries that ultimately ended her season in July.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft out of Iowa, Clark won Rookie of the Year honors that season and made the All-Star team in both 2024 and 2025. She has career averages of 18.5 points, 8.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 53 games.
