    Caitlin Clark said her goal this offseason was to become a professional golfer.

    While that may be lofty, considering she’s dominating one sport as it is, she’s going to spend plenty of time with the best female golfers in the world next month. On Monday, it was announced Clark would be a special guest at the LPGA’s The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican Golf Club in Florida.

    Not only is Clark scheduled to play in the pro-am competition on Wednesday, Nov. 13, she’s also set to be a panelist at the Women’s Leadership Summit on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

    “I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the pro-am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name on it is so exciting,” Clark said in a release. “Gainbridge is a leader in supporting women’s sports, and that’s clear through their commitment to me, this event, Billie Jean King, and Parity Week. I’m looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being part of the Women’s Leadership Summit, and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika.”

    Clark is a fellow Gainbridge ambassador, so it made sense to have her be a part of one of the LPGA’s newest and biggest events.

    The Annika begins Thursday, Nov. 14.
