Caitlin Clark’s golf coach has opened up on helping the WNBA superstar make ‘drastic’ improvements to her game.
Martha Foyer-Faulconer, a former pro on the LPGA Tour, has been working with Clark before she plays alongside World No 1 Nelly Korda and golf icon Annika Sorenstam in an upcoming Pro-Am.
After the Fever was eliminated from the WNBA playoffs, Clark joked that she would spend the offseason ‘becoming a professional golfer’.
She recently came close to a first ever hole-in-one and, next month, Clark will tee it up at The Annika in Florida.
The LPGA tournament is hosted by Sorenstam, with Clark slated to play in the Pro-Am and appear as a panelist at the Women’s Leadership Summit.

The 22-year-old WNBA superstar recently came close to a first ever hole-in-one
Earlier this week, Foyer-Faulconer was in Indiana, working with the WNBA superstar and her boyfriend Connor McCaffery.
‘Within the time we were working, we saw some drastic changes,’ Foyer-Faulconer told Golf Week.
‘It’s also part of her DNA… because she’s going to do things well. She wants to be as good as she can in everything she touches.
‘She’s very driven and passionate. It’s fun to work with her… some of this stuff you can’t teach people. ‘They just either have it or they don’t.’
According to Golf Week, the WNBA rookie of the year began by working on her wedge shots with Foyer-Faulconer.
But the 22-year-old is determined to stop slicing the ball and wanted more power off the tee. ‘I just wanted to kill it’, she told her coach.
