The $3 million prize pot Caitlin Clark will lose out on in the off-season

The WNBA season may be finished for Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, but the basketball superstar will keep her competitive juices flowing during the off-season.

This off-season, Clark will swap the basketball court for the golf course as she lines up in a Pro-Am event with arguably the most incredible women's golfer of all time.

The WNBA superstar will participate in The Annika Tournament, teaming up with the event's host, Annika Sorenstam, the ten-time major winner in women's golf.

Clark will play in the Pro-Am event on Wednesday, November 13th, and will join her partner, Sorenstam, on a panel to discuss women's sports.

According to the Annika website, the prize pot up for grabs at the event is $3.25 million (£2.4m, €2.9m), and with Clark being with the best player, she would hope to be challenging for the startling sum of money.

However, despite her incredible chance of winning the event, Clark will not be allowed to claim any prize money.

According to the United States Golf Association, an amateur playing in a scratch competition is allowed to accept any prize, including prize money of up to $1000 (£700) in value.

The rule needs to be revised and created headlines earlier this year when university student Nick Dunlap was prevented from securing $1.5 million (£1.1m, €1.3m) after winning the American Express on the PGA Tour.

After being swept in the opening round of the WNBA Playoffs, Clark vowed to play more golf in the off-season, and it looks like she will keep that promise.

The basketball sensation has already profoundly impacted the golfing community, with two-time major champion Zach Johnson and Ludvig Aberg sharing their thoughts on the WNBA star.

According to the Express, Johnson said: "I can't speak highly enough about how she handles herself, whether it's in interviews or just the way she goes about her work. She's had a lot of awards and success, but she always goes back to her team."

Up-and-coming star Ludvig Aberg praised Clark similarly: "She's a rockstar. I was just a passenger today. It was really cool."

Earlier this month, Clark expressed her love for golf and excitement about competing with such a historic champion in the women's game.

"I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the pro-am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam's name on it is so exciting."

Sorenstam expressed her excitement about playing with Clark, having followed her career in college and now on the WNBA stage.

"I have been following Caitlin's career during college and now on the WNBA stage, and what she is doing to bring attention to women's sports both on and off the court is outstanding." She added: "I'm excited to meet Caitlin and for her to join us at Pelican Golf Club in November."
