Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, fresh off a playoff appearance and a near-unanimous WNBA Rookie of the Year award, is apparently taking offseason relaxation quite seriously. It was announced Monday that Clark will compete in the LPGA's upcoming Pro-Am event, The Annika, this November.

“I love golf, so the opportunity to compete as a professional in a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name is so exciting,” Clark said. “Gainbridge is a leader in supporting women’s sports and that is evident through their commitment to me, this event, Billie Jean King and Parity Week. I'm looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range and being part of the Women's Leadership Summit and of course serving in the Pro-Am with Annika.

Clark has expressed great interest in golf recently. The Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs on Sept. 25 and Clark immediately said she wanted to play A LOT of golf in the offseason. During the postgame press conference, Clark stated, “I'm going to do this until it gets too cold in Indiana. I'm going to be a professional golfer.” Annika was supposed to give her the opportunity to show the LPGA whether she could keep up with the professionals or not.
