Caitlin Clark spent a significant amount of her offseason on the golfing courses. The Fever Guard has been associated with the sport for quite some time now, and on Wednesday, she expressed her thoughts on pro-golfer Rory McIlroy's heart-wrenching Masters win.
Clark reposted McIlory's X (formerly Twitter) post on her handle and praised the golfer in the caption.
"This is incredible. Chills"
The post featured a video montage covering the Northern Irish golfer's journey to becoming the only sixth man to complete a career grand slam. The video starts with images of McIlory's previous failures at the Masters and other tournaments.
Caitlin Clark was exhilarated by the video, as she is a big gold fan. During this offseason, the Fever guard participated in the Annika pro-am, where she played with world number one Nelly Korda and ten-time major champion Annika Sorenstam. Her admiration for Rory McIlroy shows how much the basketball star respects and loves golf.
The Fever guard was actively invested in the Masters tournament and went to witness the competition herself. Caitlin Clark will be back on the court on May. 17, when the Fever take on the Sky in their season-opening game.
Caitlin Clark reveals the one thing she likes about attending Masters
This offseason, Caitlin Clark did not shy away from expressing her love for golf. She participated in a handful of tournaments and was actively following the sport.
During her appearance on "Under the Umbrella" show presented by the Masters, the Fever guard revealed the one thing she liked about the professional holding tournament which made it special.
She named the Masters tournament as the number one competition and named the "no-phone" policy among the fans as the reason behind it being the best.
"Not having a phone is so unique," Clark said. "Everyone there is so invested, and they're just there to watch the greatness of the athletes. They feel a different level of engagement from the fans. You're really just living in the moment. As a professional athlete, you can empathize with that. I think that's really cool."
Later in the interview, Clark revealed that she believed Rory Mcllory had the potential to win the tournament and he eventually ended up winning. However, the Rookie of the Year also revealed that she went into the tournament rooting for Ludwiig Aberg.
