The idea of the exemption, when you go into the history of exemptions, is to bring attention to an event, You got to see her live, she's lovely to speak to. And she's brought a lot of viewers through Instagram, and things like that, who normally don't watch women's golf. That was the hope. And we're seeing that now.

A year later, Caitlin Clark is back for more. The Indiana Fever star is competing in the LPGA's Annika pro-am for the second consecutive year at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham, Clark's Fever teammates, will serve as the two-time WNBA All-Star's guest caddies for the day. This isn't Clark's first experience at the Annika. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year competed last year alongside Nelly Korda and played the back nine holes.

Wang became the seventh LPGA rookie to win this year, extending a remarkable streak of no multiple winners through the tour's first 23 tournaments of the year. "I hope this is the first of many, and I'll keep working hard," said Wang, the Chinese player who delivered the winning point when Duke won the NCAA team title in 2019. "This is a dream come true."

"Before I got into the bunker I was thinking, `I can make this. It's very makable,'" Henderson said. "I was really happy with where the tee shot ended up and had a really good line in the bunker. "I knew I had to hit it soft because it was really fast. It was nice to land it right where I wanted to and see it go in."

Charley Hull withdrew from the Evian Championship after collapsing on the hole No. 4 tee due to illness. She received medical attention and was assisted on a motorized cart.
