Caitlin Clark DIDN’T HOLD BACK In NEW Interview At The Masters – THIS is HUGE!

Caitlin Clark Swaps the Hardwood for Augusta’s Greens: Inside Her Unfiltered Masters Experience

By Carrie K. Dixon, reporting from Augusta National Golf Club

When Caitlin Clark—the headline-grabbing, record-shattering WNBA rookie—stepped away from the shine of the basketball court and onto the hallowed fairways of Augusta National, few expected what came next: not fierce competition, but candid charm, heartfelt reflection, and a genuine love for the game of golf.

From the moment she unfolded her umbrella at the Masters, Clark was, for once, not the one drawing cheers, but the one wide-eyed with wonder. “Oh gosh, this place is on literally everyone’s bucket list,” she marveled, soaking in the postcard-perfect views and the legendary rolling hills that “you can’t really prepare for.” Even as she joked about the hills serving as her new preseason conditioning, there was no hiding the awe in her voice—a superstar athlete humbled by the magic of Augusta.

A Family Affair: Joy, Laughter, and Georgia Peach Ice Cream

Augusta wasn’t just Caitlin’s dream; it was a family affair. Clark’s father and brother charged onto the grounds as soon as the gates opened, their excitement almost outpacing hers. Together, they wandered through the storied course, determined to sample every legendary Masters snack. Her favorite? The Georgia peach ice cream sandwich (“You can’t go wrong with that!”)—a brief, joyful indulgence that, as she laughed, will “definitely require extra conditioning back in Indiana.”

Golf as Sanctuary: From Loud Arenas to Quiet Fairways

Long before Clark was a household name, she was a kid with a set of bright pink clubs, begging her dad to take her golfing. “It’s so different than basketball—an individual battle with yourself,” she reflected. For Clark, golf is less about score and more about escape: solace from the spotlight, a rare chance for her mind to quiet.

“I’m very average at it—but that’s what I love. It’s therapy. It resets me,” she admitted. More than just a hobby, golf is Clark’s mental reset, her way to recharge before leaping back into the grind of elite athletics.

Mental Toughness—and the Power of Moving On

Clark’s appreciation for golf goes beyond the tranquility—it’s the mental challenge. “You hit a bad shot in golf, you can’t dwell. Just like in basketball—you miss, you move on.” She points to legends like Steph Curry, who’s known to head straight for the driving range after tough games, and Michael Jordan, notorious for squeezing in 18 holes before lighting up the court. The message is clear: golf isn’t just fun, it’s a workout for the mind—something every elite athlete can appreciate.

A Teammate, Not Just a Star

The golf bug is catching in the WNBA locker room, and Clark is happily leading the charge. She jokes about roping in her less-than-confident teammates and planning group outings on local public courses—divots and laughs welcome. “It’s a great way to spend time with the people you love,” she insists, eager to help others discover the unique joy—and frustration—of the game.

Welcomed with Open Arms: A Bridge Between Women’s Sports

What moved Clark most about the golf world was its warm embrace. From pro-am invites to gifted clubs, she found herself welcomed not as an outsider, but as one of their own. It’s a reminder, she says, of the power of women in sport supporting one another across boundaries. “If golf fans start tuning in to women’s basketball, and basketball fans start watching women’s golf, that’s the kind of momentum that changes everything.”

The Magic of Augusta—and the Magic of Being Present

For Clark, Augusta is unlike anywhere else. There are no cell phones, no distractions—just a rare, collective focus on greatness happening in real time. “You’re really just living in the moment,” she said, calling her days at the Masters “magical” and “unlike anything else.”

In the end, Caitlin Clark left Augusta not just with new memories (and perhaps a few extra snacks), but with a renewed love for sport, family, and self-discovery. She came not to compete, but to reconnect—with herself, her roots, and the simple joy that first made her chase a dream.

Greatness, she reminds us, isn’t measured only in points or trophies. It’s found in curiosity, humility, and in the way you use your platform to build bridges for others to cross.
