Caitlin Clark Teases Special Gift to Fans After Close Call at The Annika
The anticipation is over—today marks Caitlin Clark’s big debut at *The Annika*, the LPGA Pro-Am tournament that brought her to the greens after weeks of intense preparation. Clark, known more for her basketball prowess than her golf swing, took on the course with renewed confidence, fueled by private lessons with golf mentor Martha Foyer Faulconer. But her skill on the fairway met a humorous test: during one swing, the Indiana Fever star accidentally sent her tee shot left, narrowly missing a crowd of fans. What followed was an unexpected, heartwarming offer from Clark herself.
Despite the near-miss, Clark’s fans were thrilled. Known for her playful spirit, she turned a potentially awkward moment into a memorable fan interaction by jokingly offering her worn Nikes to anyone she might unintentionally “target” with a wayward shot. Journalist Andy Froemel reported her lighthearted response: “I hit you, I might have to give you something special, maybe my shoes.” Clark’s promise instantly turned the near-miss into a coveted moment, with fans cheering for the chance to catch her “misdirected” shots.
Soon, the crowd was calling out, “Please hit me, Caitlin, please hit me!” With her talent and charm, Clark has truly won over fans in both basketball arenas and on the golf course. This fun interaction at The Annika not only showcases her evolving sports skills but also reinforces her bond with supporters who can’t seem to get enough of her.
