Caitlin Clark was among the star names to have taken on Sea Island Golf Club for The RSM Classic Pro-AM.
Defending champion Ludvig Aberg is injury-free and in the field at The RSM Classic, having recently been sidelined after knee surgery.
Aberg took on the Pro-Am alongside NFL legend Tom Brady, with basketball star Clark playing with former Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson.
She has certainly helped raise the profile of women’s sport in recent times, with Clark an avid golfer when she isn’t on the basketball court.
Clark only just played with Nelly Korda at The ANNIKA Pro-Am, with the latter going on to lift the trophy in Florida last week.

The former meanwhile has since moved on to play in Georgia, where she linked up with fellow Iowan Johnson.
She also played with the two-time major winner at the 2023 John Deere Classic Pro-Am, meaning he may just be at the top of her list when it comes to her ideal golf group.
As per the PGA Tour website, Clark selected LPGA Tour star Korda and fellow basketball icon Steph Curry in her dream group, along with “any professional golfer.”
Explaining the final selection, she noted: “So I can get free lessons. Got to take advantage of what you can.”
Zach Johnson left really impressed by ‘quality’ Caitlin Clark
The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year with the Indiana Fever, Clark is doing her best to showcase her skills on the golf course.
And she certainly has a great following on the PGA Tour, with plenty of Indiana Fever shirts on display at Sea Island.

Clark did, however, prove she is a human being after a nightmare tee shot at The ANNIKA went straight into the crowd.
She can, of course, be forgiven for the mishap, with Johnson explaining just how impressive she has been in and out of sport in recent years.
“She gets it,” he said. “We’ve witnessed that time and time again, and still witnessing that. She’s in rare air; we talk about her talent on the court, and she’s raised the bar, she’s pushed the ceiling up in, frankly, women’s sports, but women’s basketball, but I say all that, she’s an even better person off the court. She’s quality all the way.
“She’s trying to play a lot, it’s hard; she’s got priorities, but she loves the game. It’s a good escape for her, as it should be. This is one of the hardest games there is, and golf is not a priority (for her), but the fact that she can put the club face on the ball that consistent is pretty impressive.”
