WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark has proven herself to be fearless when it comes to all things basketball, lighting up the court in her debut season with the Indiana Fever.
But beyond the painting, there seem to be some things that baffle her, and Clark opened up this week about her biggest fears in life.
Speaking at The Annika golf tournament ahead of her Pro-Am debut on Wednesday, she revealed a surprising fear: cats.
Instead of the dark, snakes or heights, the former University of Iowa star revealed that, in fact, it’s the common household pet that scares her the most.
“I don’t really like cats,” he said, as the room erupted in laughter.
Caitlin Clark had the crowd roaring with laughter when she revealed her biggest fear.
The WNBA superstar has been in Florida this week playing in The Annika Pro-Am tournament.
When asked if she was allergic, Clark responded: “No, there was a black cat on my street growing up and it was very bad.” I have scars… so I’m very afraid of cats.
‘I’m sorry if any of you have a cat. I really like dogs!’
Clark played in The Annika Pro-Am on Wednesday and quickly went viral after his tee shot in the third nearly hit a spectator in the head.
The WNBA star apologized profusely, but no harm was done as spectators ran after the ball in an attempt to collect a memento of one of the world’s biggest sports stars.
On a later hole, Clark hit a spectator along one of the fairways, and video shows him signing the ball moments later.
Clark was mobbed all over the field, with fans desperate to get their hands on her signature.
The WNBA superstar is coming off an incredible rookie season with the Fever.
The performance led fans to joke that she “is human after all,” following a season in which she dominated the WNBA on her way to being voted Rookie of the Year.
Clark has been the main reason behind a huge increase in viewership and attendance, after being selected number one in the draft by the Fever.
He now has a few months off before his second season begins, but there has been talk of him joining a new, money-spinning winter league.
Whether you do it or not, there are sure to be more rounds of golf on your calendar.
