So far, a good portion of Caitlin Clark’s off-season after winning the WNBA Rookie of the Year award has been spent on the golf course.

For the second week in a row, the former University of Iowa All-American and Indiana Storm star will play a ceremonial role in a professional tournament when she plays nine holes in the RSM Classic Pro-Am at the Sea Island Golf Club’s Plantation Course with fellow Iowan Zach Johnson.

Clark will join Johnson’s group, which includes PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, for the back nine. Johnson tees off at 8:30 a.m. on the front. Clark played with Johnson last year in the John Deere Classic Pro-Am.

Clark is also scheduled to appear at the RSM Classic Charity Putting contest around 3:30 p.m. at the Speedway Putting Course behind the Sea Island Lodge. Clark will serve as an honorary caddie as children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Georgia and Special Olympians will putt for charity.

Clark played in The Annika Pro-Am last week at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, paired with tournament host Annika Sorenstam for nine holes and world No. 1-ranked Nelly Korda for nine holes.

Golf Channel will show highlights of Clark in the pro-am and at the putting contest on Golf Today at Noon and Golf Central at 4 p.m.
