Last year, Caitlin Clark transformed the Annika Pro-Am into a must-see event, with attendance soaring by over 1,200%, according to Scott Agnes of Fieldhouse Files. The Golf Channel even expanded coverage to feature her warm-ups and live look-ins. Now, as Clark returns for the 2025 edition, anticipation is once again building, and this time, she’s arriving with even more style and confidence.

Clark is playing her first nine holes alongside 15-time LPGA Tour winner and former Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1 Nelly Korda and then takes on Pelican’s back nine with sponsor exemption Lauryn Nguyen. However, before she tees off, Clark revealed a special All-Nike outfit. “So, I’m wearing clothes, and I got these nice golf pants. I like them because they’re kind of jogger-ish. I got these Eastside golf shoes. The blue is on the bottom.” Wait, where are the Golf PEs?

“My newest golf P.E.s are a work in progress. I need them to be perfect, so that’s why I’m not wearing them right now. And then I have this beautiful baby blue, a little cropped sweater thing,” Clark explained, pointing at each piece of the outfit as she went along, “On this side, we have the CC logo, so that’s pretty cool. And then the white polo underneath, it has a CC logo on the side too. And a hat, of course.” 

As Nike’s signature athlete, Caitlin Clark rarely steps out without representing the brand. Naturally, for high-profile moments like the Annika Pro-Am, Nike made sure her look matched her comfort and confidence. Staying true to her easygoing style, Clark kept it simple again, and fans immediately took notice, praising her effortless, sporty appearance all over social media.

Fans can’t stop buzzing over Caitlin Clark’s Nike rise and golf debut

“Caitlin Clark’s custom golf look blends street style with the course—those jogger-ish pants and Eastside shoes with blue accents scream her Indiana Fever flair. Can’t wait to see the finished PE’s! 🏌️‍♀️🔥 #WNBA,” wrote a fan. CC’s crossover appeal only strengthens her value to Nike, making her eight-year, $28 million deal look like a bargain. With her growing influence beyond basketball, it wouldn’t be surprising if Nike rewards Clark with even more perks moving forward.

Next, a tweet read, “@Nike executives when they figured out CC could sell golf and basketball gear.” Lately, Caitlin Clark has seen several player editions hit the market, most notably the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Caitlin Clark.” The shoes have been a runaway success, selling out quickly and even appearing on NBA stars like Jalen Brunson and Christian Braun this season. With Clark’s growing crossover appeal, Nike seems eager to build on her momentum in both basketball and golf.

This is Clark’s third golf tournament as an amateur, yet she is humble enough on the course. “My goat is acting a little shy and a little sheepish 😭😭😭,” wrote a fan. Caitlin Clark is fiery and competitive on the court, but off it? She is almost the complete opposite. Clark is often described as a comedian and is candid off-court. “I feel like a lot of people don’t realize like how goofy I actually am,” Clark said in an interview. 

Caitlin Clark has never been one to fuss over fashion. In 2024, she admitted she simply wears whatever her stylist, Zgirdea, picks out, saying it “makes it easy to show up for games.” That relaxed attitude might explain her slightly reserved demeanor in the video. Or perhaps she was just feeling the nerves of competing as an amateur among golf’s seasoned professionals.

“Love the CC logo. This was one of my favorite things about it. It has so much potential,” said another CC loyalist. But when the logo with the interlocked Cs first came out, it had mixed reactions. Some called it a rip-off of the Channel Logo and too mechanical. Others thought it perfectly represented CC.

However, as it’s appearing in Clark merchandise and kicks, it’s gaining some support. While many focused on Clark’s fit, this fan pointed out Clark’s words regarding the future Golf PE’s as evidence of the grand delay regarding her signature shoes. 

“Y’all shocked her shoe isn’t out, and she is worried about her golf PE being perfect. I can’t imagine how much time she’s putting into her own signature shoe,” a fan remarked. Clark is working closely with Nike on her first signature sneaker, expected next year, and she’s taking a careful, step-by-step approach to make sure it’s done right. CC is a perfectionist who prefers getting the right product out instead of being early. Even Nike wants to take its time and opts for that attitude. 

“There’s just testing processes and marketing campaigns – the boring behind-the-scenes part that takes sometimes that long,” Sneaker Insider Nick DePaula said earlier. “So I think they want to get it right and want to get to next spring. I’m expecting it to be pretty successful out of the gate.” The shoe is expected to be a $100 million business for Nike, according to Paula. In the meantime, we are getting multiple player editions and merchandise from Nike every few months.
