Yes, Caitlin Clark has created some temporary interest, but it likely won't last.
I don't know about golf but in a lot of sports, male amateurs in their 50's and teenage boys can beat women pros so when it comes to watching women's sports, and I hate to even say this, but why? When you can watch the guys pull off superhuman feats why would you watch women play at a mens amateur level? Are they killing it around the green with better short game or what?
