Caitlin Clark\u2019s offseason tee sheet is filling up again. <\/p>\n

The WNBA star is playing for the second consecutive year in the pro-am at the Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, the second-to-last event of the LPGA season.<\/p>\n

The pro-am is on Wednesday, Nov. 12, with the tournament running Nov. 13-16 at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla. <\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Clark said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m honored to be an ambassador for a company in Gainbridge that is so committed to elevating women\u2019s sports. I can\u2019t wait to return to Tampa in November to play in the pro-am with the best women golfers in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Indiana Fever star is a self-proclaimed golf nut and has been working on her game the last couple years away from the WNBA season. Last year in the pro-am at the Annika she had some amateur moments, topping a tee shot on one hole and clipping a fan with a shot on another<\/a>, but also made an impression on playing partners Nelly Korda and tournament host Annika Sorenstam.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Clark is] super mature for 22,\u201d Sorenstam said then. \u201cI\u2019m going like, ‘Wow, she’s 22; I\u2019m 32 years older.\u2019 She’s an older woman in a younger body if you know what I mean. In a good way. She handles herself really well and good with people, says the right things.”<\/p>\n

Last November, Clark also played in the pro-am for the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour. So there\u2019s a good chance the LPGA stop next month won\u2019t be the only time she tees it up with the pros.<\/p>\n
