Caitlin Clark, widely recognized for her college basketball achievements and recent success in the WNBA, is also making waves in golf. A passionate golfer, Clark participates in pro-am events and has drawn considerable attention at these outings, such as at the John Deere Classic and her upcoming LPGA pro-am appearance at The Annika, hosted by golf legend Annika Sörenstam. Her involvement has generated notable media coverage and a significant fan turnout, with organizers enhancing event visibility to capitalize on her popularity.
At these events, Clark has been an engaging presence, mingling with fans, particularly young sports enthusiasts, and showcasing her sportsmanship beyond the basketball court. She often expresses her love for golf as a fun, low-stakes way to compete outside of basketball. Clark is expected to play at The Annika in mid-November alongside LPGA stars like Nelly Korda, with live broadcasts and interviews planned to capture her time on the course.
Here is how the event changed their entire coverage because of Clark.
Golf Channel and the LPGA are expanding their coverage of next week’s tournament, The Annika, with Caitlin Clark set to appear in Wednesday’s pro-am. Clark tees off at 7am ET on Wednesday and will play the front 9 with Nelly Korda and the second 9 with tournament host Annika Sorenstam.https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/11/08/golf-channel-lpga-caitlin-clark
LPGA and tournament social handles are expected to live stream Clark’s warmup on the range at Pelican Golf Club as well as conduct an in-round walk-and-talk interview. Additionally, Golf Channel’s “Golf Today,” which typically airs at 12:30pm ET, will air at 11am on Wednesday and show highlights and live look-ins from Clark’s round.
This is what we call the Caitlin Clark effect.
