I\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,&#8221; per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6721102\/2025\/10\/16\/caitlin-clark-lpga-pro-am-the-annika\/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=twhq&amp;source=twitterhq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an October 16 article<\/a> from The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01k9azvj693v05wjzeev.jpg\" alt=\"Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) participates in The Annika on November 13, 2025\" title=\"Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) participates in The Annika on November 13, 2025\" width=\"3200\" height=\"1800\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"62\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nov 13, 2024; Belleair, Florida, USA; Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) participates in The Annika golf tournament Pro Am at Pelican Golf Club.

Once the Fever&#8217;s Instagram account made an October 16 post confirming Clark&#8217;s participation that was captioned, &#8220;Caitlin Clark returns to play at the @theannikalpga driven by Gainbridge Pro-Am on November 12 at Pelican Golf Club \ud83d\udc40\u26f3,&#8221; the top comment was from Clark&#8217;s Fever star teammate, Sophie Cunningham. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">&#8220;@caitlinclark22 need a couple of caddies? @lexiehulll \ud83d\ude0f\ud83c\udf7b,&#8221; Cunningham wrote, tagging their Fever teammate Lexie Hull, as well. To which Hull responded, &#8220;@sophie_cham sign us up!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6j\">Initially, it seemed like Cunningham was just kidding around. But that is clearly not the case, as shown by a November 5 Instagram post from The Annika event that was captioned, &#8220;Indiana Fever\u2019s Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull, will serve as celebrity caddies during the Wednesday Pro-Am at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican!<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">&#8220;They\u2019ll be alongside Caitlin Clark, Nelly Korda, and Lauryn Nguyen for an unforgettable day at Pelican Golf Club on Nov. 12,&#8221; the post added. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6t\">Therefore, Clark will now be flanked by two of her most beloved Fever teammates during this golf event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">Clark managed to create a lot of memorable golf content last season. However, with Cunningham and Hull now there with her, the energy and entertainment are sure to be off the charts.<\/p>\n<p>Recommended Reading:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Indiana Fever fans would certainly prefer to see Caitlin Clark back competing on the basketball court, they&#8217;ll&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-273868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
