LPGA rookie Gabriela Ruffels expects to be starstruck Wednesday at Pelican Golf Club when Clark plays in the event’s pro-am alongside World No. 1 Nelly Korda on the front nine and tournament host Annika Sorenstam on the back. Tickets sales for the Belleair, Florida, event are 12 times the typical number.

Clark, 22, is now a global superstar, having led her Iowa Hawkeyes into the NCAA championship game last spring and then immediately being drafted No. 1 overall by the WNBA’s Indiana Fever. She ended the season seventh in scoring and was tops in both assists and three-pointers made, all leading to the rookie honor.

Clark will be playing the front nine with Nelly Korda, the No. 1 player in the women's ranking who has clinched the LPGA's player of the year award. She plays the back nine with Sorenstam, who retired in 2008 and now dabbles in senior golf.
