BELLEAIR, Florida – Let’s start with the shoes. From the moment Caitlin Clark walked on the driving range at The Annika driven by Gainbridge – only 18 minutes before her tee time – there was immediate buzz about her flashy golf shoes.

A month before Clark played in the pro-am, she wore a custom pair of Nike shoes while playing golf and the internet was buzzing. That pair was also a Nike Infinity Tour 2, but the aesthetic of the pair she wore that day was completely different than what she wore while playing with Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam in the LPGA pro-am.

Caitlin Clark brought her golf game and a big buzz to the LPGA Tour on Wednesday when the basketball star played in a pro-am that attracted a bigger crowd than the tour often gets for its tournament rounds.
