Sophie Cunningham Shares Beer-Filled Heckling Plan as Caitlin Clark’s Golf Caddie

The WNBA’s offseason just got a whole lot more entertaining — and slightly chaotic — thanks to Sophie Cunningham’s latest revelation about her plans to “help” Caitlin Clark on the golf course. Known for her fiery personality and playful sense of humor, Cunningham recently joked about becoming Clark’s caddie, complete with a “beer-filled heckling strategy” that has fans both laughing and shaking their heads.

During a lighthearted podcast appearance earlier this week, the Phoenix Mercury guard was asked about offseason activities, the growing camaraderie in the WNBA, and her thoughts on Caitlin Clark’s newfound fame. In true Sophie fashion, she didn’t hold back. “If Caitlin ever needs a caddie for one of those celebrity golf events,” Cunningham said with a grin, “I’m showing up with a cooler full of beer and a megaphone. I’ll make sure she never misses a shot — or forgets to laugh at herself.”

The comment instantly went viral, sparking a flood of reactions from fans who loved the mix of humor, competitiveness, and team spirit. Social media quickly filled with memes of Cunningham in golf attire, beer in hand, and captions like, “The caddie we didn’t know we needed.”

Cunningham later clarified that she was joking — mostly. “Hey, I love Caitlin,” she said in a follow-up interview. “She’s done amazing things for our league. But if she invites me out to the course, she better be ready for some trash talk. I’ll be her biggest cheerleader and her biggest distraction.”

Caitlin Clark, who’s been seen participating in a few charity golf outings recently, has yet to respond publicly to the playful offer, though fans are already imagining how hilarious the duo could be together. Given both players’ outspoken personalities and competitive spirits, the idea of Clark trying to line up a perfect putt while Cunningham heckles her from a golf cart is pure comedy gold.

Beyond the humor, Cunningham’s comments highlight something deeper about the new generation of WNBA stars — their ability to connect with fans through authenticity and fun. The days of overly serious, media-trained answers are fading. Today’s players are showing personality, relatability, and genuine chemistry, which is helping the league attract record attention both on and off the court.

Even sports outlets have joined in on the fun. One headline read, “Beer, Banter, and Birdies: Sophie and Caitlin Need Their Own Golf Show.” Fans agree — and some are already tagging ESPN and Netflix, demanding a one-off special featuring the two.

For now, the idea remains a running joke, but in the world of women’s sports — where stars like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham are redefining what it means to be both fierce competitors and charismatic entertainers — even a “beer-filled heckling plan” might just become the next big viral moment.

As one fan perfectly put it on X (formerly Twitter): “If Sophie’s the caddie, I’m buying tickets to the golf tournament. Forget the PGA — this is the real show.”
