ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Last week it was the LPGA pro-am. This week, WNBA superstar and golf nerd Caitlin Clark was the headliner at the PGA Tour’s pro-am ahead of the RSM Classic.
The 2024 season finale at Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside and Plantation courses starts Thursday but Wednesday morning, Clark, dressed in all black, participated in the fun.
Clark was in Zach Johnson’s group on the Plantation Course. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan was in the fivesome as well.

With a steady breeze blowing, Clark teed one up and let it fly but quickly decided she was going to reload after a not-so-great shot.

The RSM Classic pro-am also featured Tom Brady, playing in a group with defending champions Ludvig Aberg.
Monahan said it was his first time Clark, and he expects only bigger things in the future.
“It’s great to have her here,” Monahan said on the 13th green. “Think about it, she’s playing like for a year and a half. What did she hit that last drive, 260?”
Clark pulled her first drive of the day left into the water, but she got rolling soon after that, hitting some booming drives.
