The television draw of Caitlin Clark transcends basketball. At least, that\u2019s what the folks over at Golf Channel are hoping for on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Fever star will tee it up at the LPGA\u2019s The Annika pro-am later this week, and Golf Channel will provide live, on-site coverage of her round, according to Richard Deitsch of The Athletic<\/a>. Clark will be paired with World No. 2 Nelly Korda, who has won three of the last four Annika tournaments. Coverage will begin at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It is the second consecutive year<\/a> that Golf Channel has opted to cover Clark\u2019s pro-am round live. Last year, she was paired with Korda on the front-nine and the tournament\u2019s namesake, legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam, on the back-nine.<\/p>\n

Per The Athletic, Golf Channel will have live interviews throughout Clark\u2019s round, featuring Fever teammates Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham, the latter of whom is Clark\u2019s caddie for the event.<\/p>\n

The network will also do some cross-promotion as it prepares to be spun off into Versant officially in January. Kate Scott, who was recently announced as USA Network\u2019s lead WNBA play-by-play announcer and will call WNBA Finals games next season, will join the broadcast in-studio on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, 18-year-old Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, will tee off<\/a> in her first official LPGA Tour event (not the pro-am) on a sponsor\u2019s exemption to The Annika. Between Clark and Trump, there will be plenty of spotlight on the LPGA Tour this week, and Golf Channel will be covering it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The television draw of Caitlin Clark transcends basketball.
