Caitlin Clark and Tom Brady Join Pro-Am at The RSM Classic

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – The RSM Classic, held in the scenic coastal setting of Georgia, played host to a high-stakes week on the PGA TOUR. Amidst this environment, two prominent athletes, Caitlin Clark and Tom Brady, participated in the event’s pro-am competition.

Caitlin Clark, known for her prowess in basketball as the WNBA Rookie of the Year, joined the event at Sea Island Golf Club. She played alongside renowned Iowan golfer, Zach Johnson, a two-time major champion. Clark, who jests about pursuing golf professionally during off-seasons, has been actively engaging with the sport recently, having participated in an LPGA pro-am the previous week with notable golfers Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam.

Describing her enthusiasm for the sport, Clark mentioned her dream foursome consisting of Korda, Stephen Curry, and any professional golfer from whom she could learn. Johnson praised Clark, not only for her talent and popularity in basketball but also for her genuine and engaging personality.

Meanwhile, Tom Brady, the legendary NFL quarterback with seven Super Bowl wins, also took to the golf course. Partnered with world No. 5, Ludvig Åberg, Brady showcased his strategic play, often using a 2-iron off the tee for precision.

Brady, who has embraced more golf activities post-retirement, displayed his love for the sport with past appearances in several notable golf events, including «The Match» and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. His participation at Sea Island was marked by tactical gameplay despite playful commentary on his driving accuracy.

The event was not only an opportunity for these athletes to share their love for golf but also a reflection of the growing intersections between different sports, with athletes like Clark and Brady bringing added attention to events like the RSM Classic.
