However, they were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the first round of the playoffs. Former Sun's coach Stephanie White will be in charge of the team next season. White left Connecticut after two seasons to return to Indiana, where she was a player, assistant coach and coach.

Caitlin Clark told reporters after the Indiana Fever's exit in the 2024 WNBA playoffs that she's focusing on golf during the offseason. Clark has been playing the sports since she was young, and now, she has a chance to show off her skills later this week at The Annika.

The Iowa product is set to play at the LPGA pro-am tournament at the Pelican Golf Club in Florida. She is set to be at the Women's Leadership Summit on Nov. 12 before playing the next day. She'll be playing with current world No. 1 Nelly Korda and host Annika Sorenstam.

It wasn't Clark's first rodeo at the golf course since she made headlines last year after playing at the John Deere Classic Pro-Am with Zach Johnson and Ludvig Aberg. To prepare for The Annika, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year trained with former LPGA player Martha Foyer-Faulconer in a course in Carmel, Indiana.
