Clark initially posted the video on her TikTok account. In her caption, Clark said it would have been her first hole-in-one. She still ended up with a birdie on the par 3, but Clark was hoping it was a hole-in-one after originally hitting the shot. Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with getting a birdie.
Caitlin Clark: Professional golfer?
Clark is pursuing golf this offseason. Many athletes play golf in their free time for fun, but it appears that Clark has serious aspirations in the sport. Basketball remains her primary focus, but perhaps Clark will also have a career in golf.
The LPGA recently announced that the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year will participate in a pro-am event in November. In a press conference after the Fever's season ended, Clark said she was going to "become a professional golfer." However, some fans may not have thought she was serious. Sure enough, though, Clark is going to play in a pro-am.
"Play some golf," Clark said in late September of her offseason plans, via Chloe Peterson of indystar.com. "That’s what I’m gonna do until it gets too cold in Indiana... Become a professional golfer."
Clark is extremely competitive. Her competitiveness is impossible to miss in basketball, but it was also seen in the viral video as she talked some trash to her Fever teammate Lexie Hull.
Clark finally gets a break
Fever fans have no need to worry about the star, as Clark is surely still working hard at her primary job as well. With that being said, Clark has certainly earned some time away from the game after spending almost the entire last year playing basketball. As soon as the Iowa women's basketball season ended, Clark had to prepare for the 2024 WNBA Draft. The WNBA season began not long after.
Clark had a break during the Olympics. However, it was rather brief and she was back to playing basketball once again after only a few weeks. Indiana also reached the first round of the postseason, adding a couple of more games to Clark's year. Now Clark will have an entire offseason to prepare for her second WNBA campaign.
Of course, it appears that Caitlin Clark will continue to play plenty of golf throughout the offseason as well.
