Caitlin Clark Draws Big Crowds at LPGA Pro‑Am as Viral Moment and Pay Quip Steal the Show

Her cameo amplified the LPGA stop’s reach among Fever fans during unresolved WNBA labor talks.

Overview

  • Caitlin Clark played nine holes with Nelly Korda at Pelican Golf Club, with her group finishing at net 59 (-11) to tie for 36th on the pro‑am leaderboard.
  • Large galleries in Indiana Fever gear followed the round, with Golf Channel devoting an extended live window and Korda praising the influx of young fans.
  • Sophie Cunningham, serving as a celebrity caddie with Lexie Hull, sent a tee shot into the gallery on No. 10; the fan appeared fine as she apologized, signed items, and Clark shared the clip on Instagram.
  • After a spectator urged Cunningham and Hull to re‑sign with the Fever, Cunningham replied, “Tell them to pay us,” pointing to ongoing WNBA CBA negotiations; Cunningham is an unrestricted free agent and Hull is restricted.
  • Separate reports from the event described a 70‑year‑old man claiming to know Cunningham before police told him he had likely been scammed by an impersonator.
