<\/p>\nKey Points:<\/p>\n
Indiana Fever stars Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham will take part in an event away from the WNBA.<\/p>\n
Both suffered season-ending injuries, ending their promising Indiana Fever partnership.<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham played a major supporting role behind Caitlin Clark this past season for the Indiana Fever. Unfortunately, both players suffered season-ending injuries, which cut short what was a very promising partnership between these two stars.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, however, Cunningham\u2019s support for Clark goes far beyond the confines of the basketball court. Some big news away from the WNBA was announced involving the two Fever guards on Wednesday, which prompted an exchange between Clark and Cunningham on social media.<\/p>\n
Based on their friendly banter, it appears that both Clark and Cunningham are already looking forward to what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

Cunningham joined the Fever this past offseason as part of a multi-team trade deal involving her former team, the Phoenix Mercury. One of the reasons Indiana brought Cunningham in was to play the enforcer role for the team and as added protection for Clark, who is usually targeted by opposing teams with their physical play.<\/p>\n

Cunningham played that role to the T during a feisty matchup against the Connecticut Sun. The veteran guard got herself thrown out of the game<\/a> after delivering a flagrant foul on Jacy Sheldon of the Sun. The incident occurred after Sheldon hit Clark with an eye poke earlier in the game.<\/p>\n Cunningham is now taking her talents to the golf course, where she will join Clark for The ANNIKA pro-am tournament next week. Unlike Clark, however, Cunningham will not play in the tournament. She and Fever teammate Lexie Hull have committed to be Clark\u2019s guest caddies.<\/p>\n Cunningham took to social media on Wednesday to share the announcement post from The ANNIKA. She captioned her Instagram story with one word: \u201cFOUR!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Clark caught wind of the post and could not help but troll her Fever teammate. Cunningham meant \u201cfore,\u201d which is a term used in golf to warn others that a ball is headed their way.<\/p>\n \u201cyeah clearly we have a lot to learn about golf \u2026\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 It’s fore bud @sophie_cham\u201d Clark wrote on her Instagram story, sharing Cunningham\u2019s post.<\/p>\n Apart from carrying bags, cleaning clubs and raking bunkers, one of the most important roles caddies play during games is to provide strategic advice to the players. As Clark said, however, Cunningham still has a lot to learn in the sport, which likely means that Clark cannot expect any strategic advice from her Fever teammate during the tournament.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n This will be Clark\u2019s second run at The ANNIKA, which is an LPGA event founded by legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam. The former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar was a big draw<\/a> in the pro-am portion of the tournament last year, and the same is expected in her return this year, especially with Cunningham and Hull in tow. <\/p>\n The ANNIKA pro-am tournament will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 12. It will be played at Pelican Golf Club in Bellaire, Florida, and is open to the public. Coverage will start at 11:00 a.m. ET via the Golf Channel and through various streaming platforms.<\/p>\n Related: Congratulations Pour in for Indiana Fever Player After\u00a0Career\u00a0News on Tuesday<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports<\/a> on Nov 5, 2025, where it first appeared in the WNBA<\/a> section.
