Caitlin Clark is making waves after her first season in the WNBA, winning the 2024 Rookie of the Year award and being selected for the WNBA All-Star Game. But the 22-year-old is already setting his sights on his next sport and showed off his golf skills in almost one stroke. But Clark, given his competitive nature, largely took the moment in stride.
In a video posted Monday on his TikTok account, where he has more than 517,000 followers, the Indiana Fever point guard hit a swing during a golf outing with teammate Lexie Hull.
“Caitlin, that's a…” Hull exclaimed, immediately noticing the ball landing “inches away” from the hole, before the pair began celebrating in advance. Clark could be seen running around, holding his hand to his forehead, laughing and screaming before falling to the ground. “Are we sure he didn't get in?” he asks. “No, I can see it,” Clark replies.
The video then cuts to the green where the ball can actually be seen just a few feet from the hole and then sinks into the water to make a birdie.

Next month, Clark will compete in Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam's LPGA Tour event at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida; Maybe then he'll be luckier.
“I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the Pro-Am for a tournament featuring a legend like Annika Sorenstam is very exciting,” Clark said in a statement last week, after her participation in the event was first announced. “I look forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being a part of the Women's Leadership Summit, and of course meeting Annika at the pro-am.”
