Following a successful WNBA rookie season, Caitlin Clark has been busy on the links. The Indiana Fever star has posted a few videos of her offseason, much of which is on the golf course.
Clark recently spoke with ESPN’s Monica McNutt and WNBA legend Sue Bird, giving fans a glimpse into her endeavors on the golf course.
She mentioned that she’s enjoying her time away from the court and explained how she’s had to balance her love for basketball and golf.
The 22-year-old said that the downside to the WNBA is that the regular season is played in the summer, which is the high season for golf.
“Everybody thinks I’m way better than I actually am so … The only downside about the WNBA is during the summer that’s when you golf. So, my golf game is having to take a backseat to basketball.”
The WNBA runs from May to October, the best months to hit the links in Indiana, but Clark is focused on the hardwood during the summer. She has a chance to play in the fall and winter, but it’s a small window with the cold weather in the Midwest.
Clark is fresh off a historic season with the Fever. During her rookie season in Indiana, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.
The first-year star led the WNBA in average assists and the rookie class in average points. Her consistent success helped her win the WNBA Rookie of the Year award and join a couple league superstars on the All-WNBA First Team.

While she was rewarded for her statistical averages, the rookie didn’t just make an individual impact. She helped the Fever earn a 20-20 record, good enough for the No. 6 seed in the WNBA playoffs.
Clark led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016 and first 20-win season since 2015.
