Get ready for some sports drama! Caitlin Clark, the WNBA star, has some strong opinions about her celebrity caddies, Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull.
During an interview at the United States women's senior national basketball team training camp, Clark didn't hold back when asked about her caddies' performance at the Annika driven by Gainbridge pro-am event. She described their efforts as "terrible," but with a smile, she added, "They brought good vibes, which is what matters."
But here's where it gets controversial: Clark's comments might seem lighthearted, but they could spark a debate about the role of celebrities in professional sports events. Should they just be there for the fun, or is there an expectation of competence?
Cunningham, for her part, seems to have taken it in stride. She acknowledged her lack of golf expertise and even joked about it on her podcast.
And this is the part most people miss: Clark's confidence on the basketball court doesn't always translate to the golf course. She admits that golf is "way more stressful" than basketball.
So, who's the best golfer on Team USA? Clark says it's not another Fever teammate, and she's not sure if any of them even play golf. She plans to get them all out on the course soon to find out.
For now, though, Clark's focus is firmly on basketball. After a challenging season with injuries, she's back in top form, as seen during a recent scrimmage with other American basketball stars.
"I felt comfortable as soon as I touched the basketball," Clark explained. "It's been a long road of rehab and hard work, and I'm grateful for the support I've received."
So, what do you think? Are celebrity caddies just for show, or should they bring some skill to the game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
