Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark will showcase her skills on the golf course as she participates in “The ANNIKA” LPGA Pro-Am tournament on November 12, 2023, in Florida. This marks Clark’s second consecutive year at this prestigious event, where she will be joined by her Fever teammates, Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham. Cunningham’s request to serve as Clark’s caddie has officially been granted, a detail highlighted in a recent announcement from NBC Sports.
Cunningham’s journey to becoming Clark’s caddie has garnered attention, particularly due to her humorous misstep in golf terminology. She mistakenly spelled “Fore!”—the warning used when a golfer hits a wayward shot—as “Four!” Clark playfully corrected her on social media, stating, “Yeah clearly we have a lot to learn about golf… 😂😂😂”. Cunningham’s enthusiasm for the role, despite her lack of golf experience, adds a light-hearted element to the upcoming tournament.
Official Caddie Status and Event Details
The November 11 press release confirmed Cunningham’s title as “Clark’s Pro-Am Caddie,” where she will also be interviewed live during the event. This caddie designation has sparked interest among fans, particularly since Hull’s role at the tournament remains unspecified. Despite being confirmed for attendance, it is unclear whether Hull will take on a caddie role or another capacity, raising questions about her involvement alongside Cunningham. It appears the tournament may only permit one official caddie for Clark, leaving fans curious about how the two teammates will interact throughout the event.
The excitement surrounding the tournament is palpable, as Fever supporters have marked their calendars since Clark’s participation was announced earlier this month. This will be the first time fans will witness Clark in action since July, making the event particularly significant. The camaraderie shared between Clark, Hull, and Cunningham is expected to create memorable moments, enhancing the overall experience for attendees and viewers alike.
As Clark prepares to make her golfing debut alongside her teammates, the combination of competition and friendship promises an engaging atmosphere at The ANNIKA tournament. The event not only highlights Clark’s versatility as an athlete but also emphasizes the strong bonds within the Indiana Fever team. The anticipation builds as fans look forward to a day filled with sportsmanship and laughter on the golf course.
