Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, was buzzing early Wednesday morning as world No. 1 Nelly Korda and WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark warmed up for their nine-hole pro-am at The Annika, one of the biggest non-major events on the LPGA schedule.

After missing nearly two months due to an injury, Nelly Korda revealed that she rushed her rehab to play in the season’s final two events.
