Nelly Korda and Caitlin Clark were paired together as they competed in the Annika pro-am 2024. They teed off with the American motorsports racing driver Colton Herta as Clark's caddie at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.

Annika's husband, Mike McGee, shared a few pictures and videos from the pro-am event.

"Awesome atmosphere on the first tee at @theANNIKAlpga by @GainbridgeLife this morning to see @CaitlinClark22 tee off. She ripped it down the middle. She’s with Nelly Korda on the front and @ANNIKA59 on the back. Great having @ColtonHerta and @Ericsson_Marcus here too. @LPGA"

Clark's WNBA team, Indiana Fever, posted an image of a jersey swap between the two players. Clark signed the Indiana Fever jersey while Korda was holding her signed caddie bib before teeing off at the pro-am event.

Earlier, Clark showcased some nerves as she topped her tee shot into the crowd on the second hole. However, she took it on a lighter note and had a smile on her face as she played another tee shot.

The 22-year-old WNBA star had last competed in the John Deer Classic pro-am a couple of years ago and said she was quite nervous for that event.

"I was pretty nervous. I'll probably be nervous tomorrow, too. I don't know. I mean, I remind myself, like I don't really care what happens. Doesn't really matter. I don't play golf for a living."
