Summary
Annika Sorenstam said Caitlin Clark has drawn a new demographic to women’s golf, citing crowds that follow her shots and seek autographs at pro-am events.
Clark will miss this week’s American Century Championship because of the WNBA schedule, but Sorenstam said the Indiana Fever star’s long-running interest in golf would make her a strong fit for the event.
Friday’s celebrity tournament puts Sorenstam — a 72-time LPGA winner with 10 majors — among the favorites, with the Stableford format pushing players to chase birdies and eagles.
Sorenstam also used the interview to spotlight the Annika Foundation, which focuses on advancing young women through golf and broader life skills.
