Caitlin Clark's golf debut won't be streamed—are fans being robbed of witnessing her next big move?

“Maybe play some golf. I think that’s what I’m going to do until it gets too cold in Indiana. So, I got that. I’ll become a professional golfer,” shared Clark in a post-conference interview. At the time, she wasn’t really joining as many assumed. Now, she’s set to embark on The Annika’s pro-am next month. Sounds like good news, right? But there’s a disappointing update for those who love to watch her play.

Her game this November will not be streamed or on broadcast. “As of right now, there are no plans for the event (Clark’s LPGA Pro appearance) to be streamed. Hopefully, interest in the event can change that,” reads a tweet by ‘Sports Illustrated.’ The Annika is a prestigious tournament, part of the LPGA Tour, hosted by the legend Annika Sorenstam.

Sorenstam will also be a panelist at the Women’s Leadership Summit at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair. Notably, the summit is set for November 12, and Clark’s event begins the following day. “I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the pro-am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name on it is so exciting,” Clark once shared.

The Indiana Fever rookie is an ambassador for Gainbridge, which holds rights for the Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers’ arena and is a current sponsor of the LPGA event. “I’m looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being part of the Women’s Leadership Summit, and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika,” added Clark. But all the fun is reserved for Clark, as fans won’t be able to catch a glimpse of the basketball rookie.

Clark has had a remarkable rookie season

What’s your perspective on:

Have an interesting take?

Despite a slow start, Caitlin Clark gradually picked up the pace, going on to break records one after another. Whether it’s three-pointers, assists, shoe deals, or scoring records, Clark has nailed it all. Leading the league in assists with an average of 8.4 per game, Clark has been a spectacle to watch. How could she not be crowned?

She got what she deserved most—the “Rookie of the Year” award. For the AP Rookie of the Year, it was an opportunity to join the elite rookie club. This achievement even led her to stand alongside legends like Candace Parker, Lauren Jackson, and 13 others as one of the few No. 1 draft picks to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Now, Clark’s arrival is highly anticipated for the upcoming 2025 season. For now, she’s taking a break until the WNBA resumes, but she has a task ahead. As she mentioned earlier, she’ll be analyzing her game to come back as dominant as ever. Until then, we’ll keep hoping for the LPGA broadcast to happen in the near future.
