Gainbridge® and tournament officials at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican announced that WNBA Star and Gainbridge® ambassador Caitlin Clark is set to return to the LPGA Tour event at Pelican Golf Club for a second consecutive year in November.
Clark is scheduled to participate in the Wednesday Pro-Am at The ANNIKA on November 12. Wednesday’s Pro-Am is open to the public, and tickets are on sale exclusively at www.TheAnnika.com.
“I had an amazing time at The ANNIKA last November and participating in the Pro-Am alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game,” said Clark. “I’m honored to be an ambassador for a company in Gainbridge® that is so committed to elevating women’s sports. I can’t wait to return to Tampa Bay in November to play in the Pro-Am with the best women golfers in the world.”
“Bringing Caitlin, Nelly and Annika together last year was a great day for women’s sports,” said Mike Nichols, Group 1001 Chief of Sponsorship Strategy and Activation. “We look forward to her return this year and continuing our work with our brand ambassadors and partners to elevate women’s sports.”
“It was an honor to play in the pro-am with Caitlin last year. The crowds were amazing, and we are excited for her return to The ANNIKA in November,” said Annika. “She added such a great dynamic to our event, and her passion for golf and competitiveness were fun to witness firsthand. I look forward to having her back and continuing to introduce the great game of golf to the next generation.”
Clark, the No.1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever, finished her rookie season in 2024 by breaking multiple records, including the all-time WNBA assists record. She earned WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024 and was named to the 2024 All-WNBA First Team. As a Gainbridge® brand ambassador, Clark appears in a marketing campaign that shows the parallels between Clark’s on-court assists to teammates and the financial tools Gainbridge® offers investors.
Hosted by World Golf and LPGA Hall-of-Famer Annika Sorenstam, The ANNIKA is the LPGA Tour’s penultimate event for the 2025 season and final full-field regular season event. The players will compete for a share of the $3.25 million purse, one of the largest purses on the LPGA Tour.
