Caitlin Clark soaks up first Masters experience with family: ‘It’s one of the most magical places’
The Indiana Fever star enjoyed the sights, food, and exclusivity of Augusta National, mingled with celebrities, and embraced golf’s no-phone tradition.
Happy Masters Sunday — one of the greatest days on the sports calendar.
Thousands travel to Augusta, Georgia, each April for the elusive, tradition-rich major championship — if they’re lucky enough to get a ticket or win the lottery.
Caitlin Clark is having a spectacular time attending her first Masters. Fittingly, she entered the offseason talking about golf, and now, just two weeks before WNBA training camp begins for her sophomore season, she’s at the most prestigious golf tournament in the world — and with her family by her side.
“You see it on TV, but when you actually get here, it’s a completely different experience,” Clark said in an interview on the Masters channel. “So beautiful. Like, wherever you look, it’s like a postcard. It’s amazing. I think the one thing that you can’t tell on TV is the hills. You can’t really prepare for that. My legs were a little sore yesterday. But, I mean, it’s just unreal. It’s perfect, honestly.”
Clark came in rooting for Ludvig Åberg but also followed two-time champion Scottie Scheffler on Friday and planned to catch Rory McIlroy during Round 3 on Saturday. Notably, both are fellow Nike athletes.
On Friday night, Clark was a panelist at a NetJets event alongside Jim Nantz, Peyton Manning, and Will Arnett. Elite company.
She also met musician Noah Kahan and got a front-row view of his private concert. Earlier, she spent time with country star Luke Combs — two of her favorite artists right now. (Taylor Swift and Drake are also on that list.)
