The gold world is already recognizing the impact that Caitlin Clark is having on their sport before Wednesday’s LPGA pro-am event.

Initially, there was no way that fans would be able to watch Clark competing on the course live, as there were no plans to broadcast the pro-am. But that has since changed, as Sports Business Journal’s Josh Carpenter revealed in a November 8 article that, “Golf Channel and the LPGA are expanding their coverage of next week’s tournament, The Annika, with Caitlin Clark set to appear in Wednesday’s pro-am.”
There’s no question that countless Clark and WNBA fans will be tuning in to this coverage of the event solely to see their beloved 22-year-old, which is obviously a huge success for the LPGA.
It has also brought Clark into the golfing world’s mainstream, which is shown by a conversation about her on The Golf Channel that’s making waves on Monday.
“I really think Caitlin Clark is a really impactful athlete with a lot of magic in her, and she’s somebody who captures everybody’s attention,” The Golf Channel’s Shane Ryan said per Golf Today’s X account after discussing that he watched almost every Indiana Fever game this season after not watching a single WNBA game in his life before 2024.
“Anytime you can get somebody like that, and get her in the mix here, I think it’s huge,” Ryan continued. “It just increases golf’s visibility and cements the message that golf is cool.”
After the golf world sees the viewership that Clark is about to bring on Wednesday, they’ll be clamoring for her to take part in more events.
