- LPGA Golfers REVEAL What They REALLY Think Of Caitlin Clark - She DESERVES Better From WNBA!
Caitlin Clark has made headlines countless times for her jaw-dropping performances on the basketball court, but this week, she’s turning heads for a different reason. Instead of commanding the hardwood, Clark is stepping onto the lush fairways of Florida to compete in the LPGA Pro-Am event, “The Annika,” hosted by golf legend Annika Sorenstam at Pelican Golf Club. But this isn’t just any event; Clark’s participation symbolizes her expanding influence in the world of sports. Paired with the world’s top-ranked golfer, Nelly Korda, and celebrated with remarkable fanfare, Clark’s presence is redefining what it means to be a multi-sport athlete.

What an amazing sight to see whenever greatness lifts each other up! Do you agree?
Thank you for your support of the channel!!
Greatness recognizing greatness 🙌🏽
@@BasketballTopStories Absolutely. Sooner or later reality always seems to bite those who try to suppress it. The W tried to suppress Caitlin and now she's even more popular than she was at the beginning of the season and it's growing. Who knows? At some point we may see her on the soccer field because she was a heck of a player in that sport as well.
@BasketballTopStories The other amazing thing is that she is adored by everyone from 2 to 92 as the Christmas song lyrics say. She doesn't just appeal to people, WE ADORE HER, even people from outside of Iowa and now Indiana look at her as someone incredibly special. I'm thankful to be from Iowa. She is now the most celebrated athlete we've ever had, and this is huge.
@@survivrs She's amazing! It must be such a wonderful thought seeing her in her early days when she was still Iowa's best kept secret
@@BasketballTopStories She was only a best kept secret until middle school when she was playing AAU ball. In high school, there is one video on here that I just laugh at because a group of boys from the school Dowling was playing were in the upper bleachers chanting "overrated" at Caitlin, and she did what she did best. She put in one 3 after another after another. A view of the bleachers showed that they had vanished, lol. I don't know how many schools recruited her, but her main choice was always Iowa. I wish we could have watched her first year at Iowa, but cardboard cutouts were the only people getting to watch other than the people who had to be there and didn't have COVID. Her sophomore year was impressive, but she really started turning heads her junior year with broken records, and of course in her senior year she broke just about every conceivable record except for rebounds. There is a permanent painting on the court at Carver Hawkeye Arena where she made the shot from that broke Pistol Pete's record, and it was a logo 3 (of course, she wouldn't have done it any other way). There was a temporary mark put on the court after the game and we were told that it would stay until the season was over, and then a permanent mark would be placed. It has 22 and CLARK in a square placed exactly where her feet were when she lofted that shot. It wasn't her longest 3 ever, but it was what counted. Sorry for the book.
If Caitlin Clark switches, to playing Golf. Then I'll stop watching WNBA and start watching her on LPGA .
And never watch a WNBA game ever ever again not even a question
Same
It’s the fate the WNBA deserves.
Now let’s see how strong they are on their CBA demands. “It’s business,” they said.
I don't watch either sport, I will and did watch ever time Caitlin hit the court and if she's playing gold, l'm there happily. She's just an awe inspiring human being. l'm too old for sports, l'm young enough for t.v. though :) have a good day all.
Non-Stop
She's Total package She's incredible 3point shooter, excellent court vision, excellent playmaker, passes excellent, and on top of it an excellent communicator and example for young girls !!! Simply a class act !!!
No wonder the WNBA "players" can't stand her. She reeks of class, intelligence, friendliness, talent...everything the majority of WNBA players DON'T HAVE.
It’s so refreshing to see a sports super star with DIGNITY! No trash talk, no unsportsmanlike behavior and total respect for the game and her fans. That’s a sports star, not those racist, crybaby, jealous bullies.
This! I was chunnering to myself as I listened and scrolled the comments... I saw this comment almost immediately after a muttered, "She has DIGNITY!"
Great minds think alike 😁
The WNBA commissioner should be fired I think that she actually dislikes Clark and she hates the fact that so many people are cheering for her and not all players like they do for her so she wanted the refs to make sure they did their very best to try and put her in her place I do believe and I believe that there’s a lot of people that are watching the WNBA now that the commissioner should be fired cause she knows that the refs are letting players just hammer on her thinking that she was going to quit but she proved her wrong and now everybody knows that she’s as crooked as a snake and evil as a weasel
Don't malign snakes and weasel like that! They are as God made them. Engleberg had to work at being crooked and evil.
The commissioner definitely has some work ahead of her given the drama around C and obviously the drama of poor leadership in the W can she hold W to accountability and raise the bar she got some work todo. So far, she hasn’t proven that she can lead hold people accountable and send a vision.
Well said💯💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@JaimeTanner-b2i💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@Mary-x9b9x1st they have to get a commissioner who wants to the job right!
I WOULDN'T BLAME HER TO PASS ON THE WNBA FOR A CAREER IN GOLF. SHE'D MAKE FAR MORE MONEY AND WOULDN'T BE PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY HOSTILE RACISTS THUGS. CC IS THE TOTAL PACKAGE.🎯🏀🏀🏀♥️♥️♥️
Great video, thank you. What ever Caitlin do will attract many because of who she is as a Superstar in her sport and with a wonderful heart and always give children her attention. Annika has done a great job to attract people to watch women's sports by this event. I hope that maybe we can watch her play here next year as well.
As the video shows and as we all saw, how utterly disrespectful it was for Cathy Engelbert to present Caitlin the ROTY Award in the fashion that she did; with a phone call. If Engelbert didn't want cameras and the Press present, which was quite obvious, the least she could have did was given her the award personally but she didn't even do that. Also contrast how Caitlin was treated by Nelly Korda, the best player in the LPGA, and A'JA Wilson, the W's "best player". The difference is like *_Sunshine Blue Skies vs a Torrential Downpour._*
I wrote The Following almost 2 months ago:
"The WNBA has no concept, or "Acting" as if they don't, of what marketing their most popular player means. The LPGA realized that after Caitlin's golfing statement if she got with them in some way their viewership could skyrocket if only for a short time....
...Whereas right from the jump The WNBA was completely oblivious to this understanding, (or were they?) and were, in one way or another, disturbingly trying to take down their Golden Goose. Unbelievable....
'if Caitlin decides to split the WNBA this fan will be splitting right along with her.'
The WNBA shunned CC! They've treated her like a disease. Celebrated vs Tolerated. Way to go LPGA!!❤❤❤❤
The LPGA is amazingly smart. Pairing her with the number 1 player. Treating her like she deserves with the respect she shows everyone else. Thats how you do things. Bravo LPGA
Here is the thing. I think that Caitlin is about as perfect of a basketball player AND person as I will ever see. Her game is well rounded, she remains well grounded, seemingly void of the narcissistic ego that normally accompanies such greatness. Her drive, determination and focus on goals is inspiring! The girl has game and I just can't get enough of her! Imagine me, tuning into a LPGA game? Well, THAT IS A FIRST! My wife is threatening me with banning me from all things Caitlin. As she is a huge Elvis Presley fan I reciprocated with an idle threat of my own! We called it a "DRAW". GO FEVER! GO CLARK!
Elvis's last public performance was in Indianapolis, so there's the Elvis-CC connection.
@@JeffPassageCPA I probably should have been aware of that!
i think it has something to do with the way she was raised her parents should be proud of her
@@Ron-k8e7f True. You can't teach such a competitive drive and spirit, that comes from within. Good parents try to influence their children, and it is pretty obvious that CCs' parents were instrumental in providing the proper encouragement and support during her childhood. Yet, if you go way back to when she was a small child she had this desire, a drive to WIN even if it resulted in leaving one of her brothers with staples in his head. Rough little girl! Apparently that "TAKE NO PRISONERS" approach to winning has been tempered somewhat!
Yes and they grew up with family and extended family all around sports - brothers played sports, cousins played sports, evenings and Sundays were watching sports. So I would imagine the competitive drive is real :) Thanks for always watching!
This is exactly why the WNBA needs new leadership starting with the commissioner.
Imagine the massive financial losses for the WNBA if CC left.
Amen🙌🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@JeffPassageCPAthey would just go back to the dark ages where they’ve been this whole time.
Absolutely!
It's nice to see that in the LPGA women support women (unlike in the WNBA).
Nobody wants to state the obvious, but she faced a lot of racial backlash in the WNBA from players and their fans. They hate all of the attention she has gotten and the records she has broken and trash her ruthlessly on social media. It says more about them than anything.
Players not fans. Her fans eclipse the entire WNBA & is multicultural as well as global.
At the John Deere classic, when it was over, Zach said to Caitlin that he wasn't used to being the 2nd person being asked for autographs. They had a great time, and she showed the world that basketball isn't the only ball she is good at playing with.
A'ja Wilson became MVP because she broke the most points scored in one season, Caitlin broke 62 records and only got ROTY and not unanimous, which is a disgrace, Caitlin should have been MVP and unanimous ROTY, if the WNBA had done the right thing for Caitlin, there would have been more coverage for the finals, but instead they cheated and linked it to three other sporting events, and took the total sum of viewers from all four events as there's, another way of cheating, then not giving Caitlin her dues in her assists stats of 337, Cathy Englebert has to go.
CC could work the LPGA as a commentator and seriously raise their profile.
Kudos to the LPGA for treating Caitlin like the Queen she is. 🎉👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉
Not just golf , baseball welcomed CC with open arms and NBA players have been very supportive .
The Cheifs players all like her also.
Every pro sport except WNBA!
A person with her athleticism will definitely be successful as a multi-sport athlete. Playing other sports will only improve her basketball game in general.
After all these months I still have no idea why Engelbert has that job!?!? She’s literally clueless!
It’s really good that GOD used these ppl to show up for her. No one knows what it feels like unless, it’s experienced. Congratulations to her. Good people out in the world who can see and takes the necessary time to understand things better. Congratulations 🎉❤✌🏾
The LPGA is a great tour….amazing players, great stories, classy athletes and is growing strongly and steadily year by year. This year the winner of the tour championship tourney is going to win $4 million. It was only $2 M last year. The WNBA would do itself a huge service by studying the LPGA and learn that professionalism and class attract viewers by offering likable athletes you WANT to root for instead of a thug league which best describes the WNBA. PS, I am not talking about all WNBA players, btw. I am sure many are wonderful individuals but that sure isn’t the league’s face to the public.
Watching the crowd follow CC on the golf course you can see who the WNBA superstar is. Which makes Aja Wilson and Angel Reese furious!
I’m not a basketball fan, but I do see some admirable qualities in Clark like humbleness and humility. Those qualities will get you a lot of respect from most people.
Prop's to the LPGA and the Golf Channel for the coverage unlike the idiots of the WNBA are least the Fever page promoted this they care you right greatness sees greatness. C-square she is the total package
Are you watching this, Nike? Did someone get fired for poor decision-making??
I think woke Nike signed her just to put her on the shelf. Kinda like the oil companies did with the first electric car in the 70s.
The WNBA is living proof that you can't hide real talent no matter how hard you try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!!
It's crazy that the WNBA doesn't want to not focus on one player in the league. Leagues do it all the time! That's why even if someone like me who isn't an active sports watchers knows of the Micheal Jordan, Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Messi, Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, Michelle Wie, Yuzuru Hanyu, Kim Yuna, Faker, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton...They all have one thing in common! Their leagues highlight their performances. This allows them to not only promote themselves but their respective sport. I don't even watch the WNBA and I know who Caitlin Clark is... So what's the problem?
Caitlin is the role model of role models . She just fits everywhere she goes . She's a beautiful spirit with much talent and people appreciate her.
Thank you LPGA for showing initiative and foresight to see the value and impact of Caitlin Clark to women's sport. No egos involved and the "has beens" wanting to cling to their past achievements by bullying and trash talking (very few at best) . So inspiring to see LPGA pros excited to meet Caitlin on their turf. Wow that is so inspiring. Commisioner of WNBA..you are a disgrace and your @#$% comments about real star players that are financially boosting the game of basketball makes you an insult to idiocy. Well done LPGA and Caitlin.
Well done LPGA. Amazing to see how, as Annika said, "She handle's it with poise" and still plays the game like the professional that she is.
Well the LPGA knows how to treat talented women...the WNBA seems to be clueless and is acting like they don't want her around.
They don't want her around for the most obvious reason.
That's the 🐘 in the room.
So what can the bully do besides nothing. They can't even play basketball without hitting Caitlin because she makes them look like the haters they are.
Just makes me shake my head. If you see how the LPGA approached this, you can only keep wondering what the WNBA was thinking and how much they have blown this.
The commissioner's failure as a leader is deafening.
damn Petr Korda’s genes in sports is doing really well in the Pros.
Yeah! All 3 kids !!
This could be a learning moment for the WNBA if they want to try.
Go CC! Stay humble always. A big fan from Virginia.
CC is Awesome, no matter which sport she plays!! ❤❤
LOVE THIS TY LPGA KUDOS ❤💯🤗😎
that is one smart league.....bravo!
Really good narrative - quite intelligent and well spoken with a focus on the larger message of positivity.
WNBA was scared of the lesbian players!😅🤣😂
Thank for telling the Truth!!!!
AND they Wonder Why they Sports is on the Back 🔥 burner!!!!
So afraid of the 75% Alpha Female WNBA PLAYERS!!!!
WNBA need to take 📝 Notes
All I can say is CC is a awesome lady.
Good luck in 2025!!!
Golf channel should replay this entire event. Hope they do.
Those Clark fans were really scary - women and 12-year old girls. It's no wonder why Alyssa Smith is afraid of playing in Indiana, having to potentially face those monsters.
Trolling is not your strong suit.
@@thesean3194 Who said he was trolling??? Truth hurts.
@@donaldcummings8407 lol being afraid of 12 year old girls is no way to live.
Scary? Why would you say that? She is an amazing person and fun to watch and listen to.
Shes a stud.. best of best.
i love watching Caitlin Clark when she shoots a three or teeing off in a golf tournament. I never watched the WNBA before Clark, I won’t watch games where she is not playing. She outshines all other players and lifts her team mates. Excited for the next season for the Fever. She is amazing. Watching her is like watching Steph Curry. Amazing!
The LPGA received Clark in a more genuine way than the WNBA. Way to go, Clark and the LPGA!
Come February Caitlan will be in Daytona to participate in the Daytona "500" - - The angel gal will be a fill in tire changer - - LOL - - Ya never know Folks - - 😀
Knucklehead top level leadership = Knucklehead ground level organization. WNBA just proved it right.
This shows a very good reason why WNBA are in the RED -10 mil a year where LPGA knows how to market their players to make money, the reason WNBA leaders stated why they don't do this for players made no sense to me at all. I still think they have the wrong personal running the WNBA or not running it depends how you look at it.
I hope CC works on her golf game to the point she can be competitive in LPGA play
Beyond that, she should QUIT the WNBA and play in Europe or play golf
The WNBA doesn't appreciate her, and if she doesn't leave, she will be permanently injured or have a stomach ulcer by the time she's 25
LPGA's brilliant move❤❤❤
Caitlin Clark "Is the Gold Standard" of how we as people need to treat each other. This Ex-Airborne Soldier feels she is a "Real Hero" for the example she sets. We the people "Adore" her. Evan if she did vote Democrat. God Bless her.
The LPGA shows what USA women's basketball missed when they left CC off the Olympic team.
BTW, Steven A had this one nailed...
Makes me smile to think of all those WNBA players watching this and seething with anger and jealousy.
There are some high-profile celebrity golf tourneys, Gretzky, Jordan, et.al. We'll probably see Clark at those as well. The W has an 8-month off season. Lots of time to golf.
I agree.
She never said professional golfer. She said she would play golf
She actually did as a joke during the post game press conference of Game 2 vs. the Sun - here's the clip : th-cam.com/video/lOuaavTzjNU/w-d-xo.html (refer to 6:40 to 6:52)
@@BasketballTopStories I agree with @mattheweaston5244, it was a joke, you played it straight. Maybe you thought you were being clever, but you just come off as deceptive. Just pointing that out, in case you didn't know.
This is great feedback, thank you and highly appreciated!
So she goes to play golf and slows the groups behind while the LPGA is jumping up and down with ear to ear smiles showing the high level of intelligence among golfers.
Next time she will have shaved strokes off her handicap. Before long she'll golf at tournaments without the '-am' suffix. Annika is wonderful and always has been.
CC THE GOAT, GAME CHANGER
it's not about who wins the game... it's all about everyone winning by enjoying their time together
We got to get Nelly korda, Caitlin Clark and Kai Trump to the Golf Course
The following was amazing
The effect is strong in this one yes it is
This is analogous to the WWE. There were certain pro wrestlers who became so popular that they became the face of the company and were able to dictate their own terms. Their brand outshone the WWE brand. Vince McMahon, WWE owner, would not let happen again and the company has never pushed or promoted another wrestler beyond a certain level of popularity. Let's see how the WNBA goes forward.
She’s going to surpass Tiger’s achievements.😊 because he doesn’t play basketball. 😅😅😅
When Caitlin misses a putt, I think it would be funny if she stumbles a bit and claims that she was fouled.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you CAITLIN CLARK
WNBA COMMISSIONER ENGELBERT IS SHORTSIGHTED..SHE DOESN'T FIT IN THE JOB..😮
They dont like her in that league.
All women are jealous of other women, some are even best friends......facts
Yah. Just do it. So much fun to watch in BBall.
The real toxic people are the wnba players who are jealous of Clark's success.
CC should hone her golf skills and tell the W(eak)NBA to kiss her shoes.
She doesn’t need that horrible bunch of people to define her success from this point forward.
F the W(oke)NBA.
I won't watch the WNBA next year. Doesn't matter if they have CC and Paige. Two players can not compensate for the boredom the other 154 bring to the table. (It is 154 cause they are adding a 13th team...if they are adding a 14th team that means the quality of talent gets watered down by 12 more)
But Commissioner, you shot yourself in the foot. Well hopefully they do better in 2025.
LPGA is dominated by Pacific Rim Asians so Caitlin Clark sends a message to white gals: hit the driving range. btw, ok, Lexie Hull, as a golfer with a graduate degree, could you join CC next LPGA tournament? Can Kate Martin play golf?
Wnba dropped the ball yet again!
"Overlooked?" Yeah, ruight.
But after the dis respect from Nike, she was still wearing a Nike hat and shirt.
Congrats glof people you guys know how to opprate go show wnba how to operate
"Poise and Class". Aren't those Annika's pronouns???
Yes I would never watch another w game
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm now a fan of Nelly Korda, hmm
hmm i wonder what the difference is......
No Keishas or Sistahzzzz
Instead of dancing all around the obvious reason why she gets the attention instead of the usual cheap shots, just say why.
Curry and Clark both making me watch golf which I'm not interested in😭🤣
She should stick to golf and play basketball in her backyard. And let's all see how the WNBA collapses.
i think she should take 1 year off from wnba and play golf.
And the good news are only beginning because by the way has anybody seen or heard of Angel Reese lately ?
Exactly none, zero, niente, nada !!
Next stop WSOP
Stay In LPGA babe ❤💘😍😘
After all these months I still have no idea why Engelbert has that job!?!? She’s literally clueless!
