BELLEAIR, Fla. (AP) – Caitlin Clark is returning to action \u2014 on the golf course, not the basketball court.<\/p>\n

Clark, whose second season in the WNBA ended early<\/a> because of a series of injuries, will return to play in the pro-am next month at The Annika on the LPGA Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

The pro-am is Nov. 12 at Pelican Golf Club and open to the public. Clark, who had just finished her first season in the WNBA and was rookie of the year, brought out big crowds and a big buzz last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Annika is the penultimate tournament on the LPGA schedule. Clark has a corporate relationship with Gainbridge Insurance, the main sponsor.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s second WNBA season was slowed by injuries. She played only 13 games and was ruled out out for the rest of the season on Sept. 4 with a groin injury. The Indiana Fever reached the playoffs again but were eliminated by the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
