Tom Brady tees off alongside Caitlin Clark in RSM Classic Pro-Am in Georgia READ MORE: Fans slam 'disgusting' Unrivaled for hinting Clark joined the league By JAKE FENNER Published: 22:26, 20 November 2024 | Updated: 22:37, 20 November 2024 e-mail 11 shares View comments While the sky was cloudy over St. Simons Island in Georgia, a pair of sporting stars shone brightly on the golf course taking part in a Pro-Am on Wednesday. Retired NFL superstar and current FOX Sports NFL commentator Tom Brady was seen teeing off with world No.
5 golfer Ludvig Aberg at The RSM Classic Pro-Am. Also teeing off on Wednesday was Indiana Fever star point guard Caitlin Clark . The former Iowa star was paired with fellow Hawkeye State native Zach Johnson.
Brady played alongside Aberg, who is taking part in his first event since undergoing knee surgery earlier in the fall. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said that he got particular use of one specific club in his bag. 'Just a lot of that 2-iron today, baby,' Brady said after his opening tee shot.
'A lot of that 2-iron. The thing with my driver, it goes there (pointing right) or there (pointing left).' Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady took part in the RSM Classic Pro-Am in Georgia Indiana Fever star point guard Caitlin Clark also took a trip around the course on Wednesday As for Clark, she's continuing her light-hearted quest to 'become a professional golfer' with yet another trip around the links.
Last week, Clark teed off at The ANNIKA Pro-Am in Florida before an LPGA event. After her round, Clark was asked to name her dream golfing foursome. She chose Nelly Korda, her playing partner from last week's pro-am, as well as fellow basketball player Stephen Curry.
For the final spot in her group, she said 'any professional golfer', adding, 'So I can get free lessons. Got to take advantage of what you can.' This isn't the first time that Johnson and Clark have been paired in a Pro-Am together, with the then-Iowa women's basketball star teaming up with the former Masters champion at the John Deere Classic in the Quad Cities region in the summer of 2023.
Safe to say, Clark is much more famous these days than she was back then - with the basketball star stopping multiple times to sign autographs for young fans in attendance. 'She gets it,' Johnson said Wednesday. 'We've witnessed that time and time again, and still witnessing that .
.. She's in rare air; we talk about her talent on the court, and she's raised the bar, she's pushed the ceiling up in, frankly, women's sports, but women's basketball .
.. but I say all that, she's an even better person off the court.
She's quality all the way. 'She's trying to play a lot ..
. it's hard; she's got priorities, but she loves the game. It's a good escape for her, as it should be .
.. This is one of the hardest games there is, and golf is not a priority (for her), but the fact that she can put the clubface on the ball that consistent is pretty impressive.
