Caitlin Clark reveals golf dream with LeBron James

Speaking via ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Clark explained that golf has become part of her conversations with James.

“We text about golf. That’s next on our bucket list, is to play golf together,” Clark said. “I’m not sure either of us are too great and we might be chasing the ball a lot, but I think like basketball players just like the mental challenge of an individual sport like golf.”

The comment showed a relaxed side of their relationship, with Clark joking about both players potentially struggling on the course despite being elite basketball talents.

It also highlighted why golf appeals to her, as she pointed to the mental challenge of an individual sport and how that can attract basketball players used to constant pressure and decision-making.
