Caitlin Clark to return for The Annika pro-am in November

Caitlin Clark will return to the LPGA Tour’s Annika event this November, tournament officials said, participating in the pro-am at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, on Nov. 12. The appearance marks her second consecutive year at the event hosted by Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam and is part of the LPGA’s penultimate stop of the season.

“I had an amazing time at The Annika last November and participating in the ProAm alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game,” Clark said in a statement. “I am honored to be an ambassador for a company in Gainbridge that is so committed to elevating women’s sports. I can’t wait to return to Tampa in November to play in the ProAm with the best women golfers in the world.” Tournament materials list a purse of $3.25 million for the weeklong event.

Sorenstam praised Clark’s return, saying her presence added a strong dynamic to the tournament and that crowds were “amazing” when Clark played the pro-am last year. The tournament’s organizers and Clark’s corporate partner, Gainbridge Insurance, said they view the arrangement as part of broader efforts to raise visibility for women’s sports.
