Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham Apologizes After LPGA Incident

Sophie Cunningham had fans laughing and apologizing all at once after a playful moment at the celebrity pro-am before THE ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge on Wednesday. The Indiana Fever guard, known for her competitive fire and humor, accidentally hit a golf ball into a small group of spectators, only for the “victims” to turn the moment into a comedy scene.

As the ball struck near a group of men, they dramatically pretended to collapse, drawing laughter from the crowd. Caitlin Clark, Cunningham’s Fever teammate and fellow pro-am participant, immediately shouted, “Man down, man down! He’s down, he’s down!” as Sophie rushed over, laughing and apologizing.

The clip, which quickly spread across social media, showed Cunningham running to the group to make sure everyone was fine. She signed a few jerseys, posed for pictures, and joined in on the jokes. One fan was heard saying, “Don’t feel bad, it was worth it,” to which Sophie quipped back, “Says your wife.” The exchange had everyone cracking up, including Clark, who could barely keep a straight face.
