LPGA rookie Gabriela Ruffels expects to be starstruck Wednesday at Pelican Golf Club when Clark plays in the event’s pro-am alongside World No. 1 Nelly Korda on the front nine and tournament host Annika Sorenstam on the back. Tickets sales for the Belleair, Florida, event are 12 times the typical number.

Caitlin Clark has one goal when she plays in an LPGA pro-am. “I've tried to practice as much as I can,” Clark said Tuesday. “I'm just the average golfer. I'm going to hit some good, I'm going to hit some bad.

Clark's athletic abilities know no bounds. The WNBA sensation has already emerged as one of the best hoopers in women's basketball, earning Rookie of the Year honors this past season, as well as a selection to the 2024 All-WNBA First Team.
