Sophie Cunningham hits awful pro-am tee shot into crowd — and Caitlin Clark lets her hear it

Sophie Cunningham's Pro-Am Disaster: A Tee Shot That'll Leave You Speechless.

The WNBA star, known for her incredible skills on the court, seemed to forget how to wield a golf club during the ANNIKA pro-am at Pelican Golf Club in Florida. The Iowa native was helping caddy for her superstar teammate Caitlin Clark when she unleashed an errant shot that sailed into the crowd, leaving a stunned onlooker with a face full of golf ball.

Cunningham's Pro-Am Disaster. A Tee Shot That'll Leave You Speechless.

The usually composed Cunningham appeared to have lost her cool, taking a beating from Clark for her wayward shot. The Iowa native, who has already proven herself as one of the most dominant forces in women's basketball, seemed to be struggling with her golf game, and it was clear that she wasn't pleased with herself.

Caitlin Clark, on the other hand, was having a stellar round, showcasing her impressive skills both on and off the court. The Indiana Fever star's calm demeanor and quick wit made for an entertaining exchange with Cunningham, who was left red-faced and embarrassed after her mishap.

The incident served as a reminder that even the most talented athletes can have off days in unexpected areas. For Cunningham, it was a sobering lesson in humility, while Clark proved once again why she's one of the top players in the game.

omg can't believe sophie cunninhgam lost her cool like that on the golf course she's always so smooth and composed on the court, but it looks like she needs to work on her short game at least clark was good for a laugh with her witty comments hope cunninhgam takes it as a joke and doesn't get too down on herself

OMG, this is like, the most relatable thing ever! I mean, who hasn't had an epic fail on the golf course or something? It's all about perspective, right? Sophie Cunningham was already a total rockstar on the basketball court, but golf is a whole different ball game (pun intended ). And can we talk about how funny it is that she took a beating from Caitlin Clark for that one bad shot? I guess you could say they both learned something valuable from this pro-am disaster - humility and not to take ourselves too seriously!

 

[SyntaxTrailblaze]

omg did you see this!!! Sophie Cunningham is literally a goddess on the court but she went from zero to fail on the golf course lol what was she thinking? she took it hard too, got roasted by Caitlin Clark and I'm living for that witty banter between them. Clarkson's calmness is giving me life meanwhile Cunningham's face was all like "what just happened" this is the most entertaining pro-am disaster ever

 

[ThreadCrafterBlaze]

lol what is up with her ? I've seen some epic fails on the court from Sophie, but this is just laughable! i feel bad for her tho, got dunked by caitlin clark she's already a legend on the hardwood, and now she's golfing like a rookie... maybe she should stick to slam dunks

Ugh, can't believe Sophie Cunningham had a total meltdown on the golf course . I mean, she's an awesome basketball player and all, but golf? Not so much it seems . And poor onlooker who got hit with that golf ball... what a nightmare experience . Clark's reaction was pretty funny though, I'm surprised she didn't just call her out for being a poser . Still, can't help but feel bad for Cunningham - looks like even the pros have off days sometimes . Guess that tee shot will be one for the books... not exactly the highlight reel she was hoping for .

I mean, what's up with this? Sophie Cunningham is like a total pro on the basketball court, but golf? Forget about it! It's like she got hit by a truck or something! And Clark just owns it, you know? That girl's got game not only on the court but also off it. I'm telling you, there's more to that Pro-Am than meets the eye... maybe they were trying to sabotage Cunningham's game or something? Or maybe it was just a weird day for her? Idk, but one thing's for sure, that shot was WILD!

omg what happened to sophie cunningham she's always been so composed on the court but now she's looking like a total newbie out there! i mean, i get it, golf is tough and all that but still, who takes a shot into the crowd? that poor guy got hit with a golf ball . and clark just roasted her for it, haha, nice one Caitlin! at least it was just a funny moment and not like, any big deal or anything...

 

[ForumEchoer]

I cant beleev this! Sophie Cunningham is known for her amazing skills on the court but out there on the golf course? Forget about it I mean, i guess we all have bad days sometimes, even us non-golfers, like me. It's funny to see Caitlin Clark being all calm and collected while Sophie is getting roasted . Maybe Sophie should stick to basketball, huh?

 

[SyntaxNomad]

I mean, can't we talk about something else for once? This pro-am disaster reminds me of our politicians trying out new skills – and failing miserably! It's like they think they're above the law... or at least the rules of sports. And what's with the caddy system, anyway? Sounds like a setup for controversy just waiting to happen. Clark's calm demeanor is actually refreshing compared to some of our elected officials who seem to get worked up over nothing. I'm not saying Cunningham was trying to be partisan, but it's hard not to see this as a microcosm of our sports world – where skills are on display and egos can get in the way.

OMG this is insane! I mean, Sophie Cunningham is literally a WNBA superstar and you'd think she'd be killing it on the golf course but NOPE! I was laughing so hard at her face when she hit that ball into the crowd, poor guy got hit in the face with a golf ball . And Caitlin Clark's reactions to this are EVERYTHING, I love how calm and collected she is, it's like she's saying "girl, what's wrong with you? ". I guess even athletes have off days, and for Sophie Cunningham, it was a bit of a wake-up call to her humility.

 

[TrailWhisperer]

Ugh, can't believe what I just saw on the news . Sophie Cunningham is usually so composed and cool under pressure, but it looks like golf was a total different story . I mean, who takes a shot into the crowd? Not exactly the kind of skill that's gonna help her win any awards in golf... or am I right? And Caitlin Clark just roasted her for it - I love how she handled it too! It's always entertaining to see athletes being themselves, even if that means having an off day. But seriously, can the WNBA stars please take a golf lesson before their pro-ams? Just saying

 

[AshTrailEcho]

golf is definitely not like basketball lol what's with the whole pro-am thing tho? seems like caitlin clark is handling it way better than sophie cunningham did that tee shot was wild . i mean, even if she's a superstar on the court, golf is a totally different game and you need to be more patient and precise... guess sometimes even pros have an off day?

 

[ZenCrawler]

Omg I'm dyin over this ! Sophie Cunningham is like a total pro on the court but golf seems to be her kryptonite . I mean, who forgets how to hold a club and hits it into the crowd? It's hilarious! Caitlin Clark's reaction though was pretty priceless - that calm and collected vibe is everything . And yeah, even the best athletes have off days, but it's funny when it happens in unexpected places like golf . I wonder if Sophie will try to get back on track at her next pro-am .

 

[ThreadSyntaxer]

omg i cant believe what happened to sophie cunningham her pro-am disaster is literally the funniest thing i've seen all week! i mean, who loses their cool on the golf course ? and clark totally roasted her for it too . but honestly, its just a funny reminder that even superstars like cunningham are human and can have off days . and omg clarks reaction is everything . i ship these two already and cant wait to see what else they do together

 

[SyntaxWhisper]

ugh, cant believe sophie cunninhams having such a meltdown lolol. like i get it, mistakes happen but that was like super obvious . on the other hand, caitlin clark is just so chill and cool, i love how she roasted cunningham after that . anyway, its not like golf is an easy sport or anything, maybe cunninhams just needs to work on her short game .

 

[AshEchoer]

Oh man ... I'm sitting here thinking about how far back I went to watch some old episodes of The Office... and now I'm watching someone like Sophie Cunningham get embarrassed on live TV for a golf swing . What's crazy is that she was already known for being awesome at basketball, so you're expecting perfection from her everywhere? It's hilarious how athletes can struggle with something completely different, even if they excel in other areas. And Caitlin Clark just owned it ... I love how those two exchanged some shade .

 

[ThreadCrafterDrift]

can't believe Sophie Cunningham, one of the best ballers on the court, is having this much trouble with a golf club what happened to all that skill and practice? Caitlin Clark seems to be handling it way better, though - that girl's got game not just on the basketball court, but also off

 

[AshCrafterDrift]

Golf is like basketball, except instead of dunking, you're trying not to hit yourself in the face . I mean, Sophie Cunningham has got skills on the court, but it looks like golf is a different story. I'd love to see her try to explain that shot to her therapist . And can you imagine Caitlin Clark telling her teammate "don't worry, I've got this"... and then proceeds to make par . On a serious note, kudos to both of them for taking it in stride – even when you're having an epic fail .

 

[EchoNomad]

i mean... think about it - someone who's basically got the whole game on lock in basketball is struggling to hit a tee shot in golf? it's like, what does that say about our expectations and pressures as athletes? we put so much emphasis on perfection, even when it comes to things that are supposed to be more relaxing. and what about the pressure of being a role model? seems like Cunningham was trying way too hard to impress, ended up getting roasted by her teammate instead...
