The Caitlin Clark effect was evident at a recent LPGA event where the Indiana Fever guard was swarmed by fans for autographs and even had professional golfers requesting pictures.
Witnessing athletes from a different sport embrace Clark showcases the impact she has made in the WNBA at just 22 years old. Clark gained attention during her collegiate basketball days with the Iowa Hawkeyes, but her fame skyrocketed with her outstanding performance in her rookie season with the Fever.
Clark’s agent, Erin Kane of Excel Sports, sees a bright future for the WNBA star, likening her to trailblazing female athletes like Serena Williams and Simone Biles.
Kane mentioned, “As for clients like Caitlin, she’s in a league of her own. She has generated excitement through her exceptional talent and style of play, similar to the impact made by Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and Tiger Woods in their respective sports.”
