Caitlin Clark's Caddie Nightmare: Golf Ball Hits Man!
20 Nov
Summary
- Sophie Cunningham acted as Caitlin Clark's caddie at a golf tournament.
- Cunningham accidentally hit an elderly man with a golf ball.
- Both Clark and Cunningham are recovering from season-ending injuries.
Sophie Cunningham recently caddied for Caitlin Clark at the Annika Pro-am golf tournament, an experience that left Cunningham with lingering trauma after a golf swing accidentally struck an elderly man. Cunningham had warned attendees to stand back before her swing, recalling a previous incident where she hit a squirrel. Despite this mishap, she believes she has potential in golf.
Cunningham also commented on Clark's golfing prowess, describing her as "really good" and a dedicated golfer during the offseason, a stark contrast to Cunningham's own preferred relaxation methods. The two players, along with Lexie Hull, planned to play more golf together, enjoying a different atmosphere than their basketball careers.
Both Clark and Cunningham suffered season-ending injuries during the 2025 basketball season, with Clark sidelined by a groin injury and Cunningham by a torn MCL. They remained supportive on the bench as their team reached the semi-finals before ultimately losing to the Las Vegas Aces.
