Wyndham Clark has certainly transformed his career in recent times, with his accomplishments including a US Open title.
Clark loves playing TGL, with the American shining for The Bay Golf Club, who are currently second in the standings.
World number seven Clark was the slowest player on TGL opening night, but his side has managed to win all three of their matches so far.
Clark has certainly raised both his game and his profile in recent years, helped massively by his US Open victory in 2023.
The 31-year-old now has three PGA Tour wins to his name, with his recent success helping him earn a place in the Netflix documentary Full Swing.
Scottie Scheffler dominance makes Wyndham Clark ‘more motivated’
The latest season did, however, coincide with a stunning year for Scottie Scheffler, with the world number one having won seven PGA Tour titles in 2024.
His success featured in season three episode five, when Clark was asked what has changed in his life since season two.
“Let’s see… people know who I am a lot more,” he said. “I’ve never really been part of reality TV and now it’s becoming a reality for me.

“But you know the show has done so much good for getting my story out there. Honestly it’s amazing the amount of love that I’ve gotten from that.”
Clark’s caddie John Ellis noted: “When he first came to college he was this so-called hot shot kid who lost his mom and kind of lost his way.
“You know, he was supposed to be the next big thing in this talent was wasted because of his attitude, how he handled certain things.
“He expected to be what he is today, one of the best players in the world. I mean, the greatest compliment in golf right now is being compared to Scottie Scheffler.”
Clark commented: “You just got to tip your cap, and makes me better, makes me have to play better, makes me more motivated.”
Continuing his thoughts on Scheffler, Ellis said: “Now we just got to clip him,” with Clark replying: “Yeah. I can’t wait till we finish first and he finishes second.”
Wyndham Clark told he ‘came out nowhere’ to win 2023 US Open
Clark did, however, enjoy success of his own in 2024, having emerged victorious at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
It represented a third PGA Tour title for the 2023 US Open champion, who also won that year at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Analysing his emergence on Full Swing, journalist Dan Rapaport said of Clark: “Wyndham Clark came out of nowhere last year.
“It was like the guy hadn’t won a tournament in five years on tour, and then all of a sudden he’s one of the best players in the world, wins a major championship.
“The thing is anytime someone wins a major for the first time, you’re wondering, is this an aberration? But Wyndham is showing us early this year that maybe it wasn’t winning a major that was an aberration, it was the five years before, and this is kind of the guy who he is now. He’s made changes in his life to where he feels like he can sustain this level.”
Wyndham Clark excited by ‘super cool’ fashion venture with Mark Wahlberg
Among the new approaches Clark has taken is a move into fashion, with the American having partnered with Municipal.
The clothing brand is co-founded by actor Mark Wahlberg, with that collaboration really exciting PGA Tour ace Clark.
“When you are trying to become a professional golfer, you never think you’d be working with a celebrity and someone especially like Mark Wahlberg,” he said. “You know, I grew up watching his movies, working on this brand together, which is super cool.”
Clark is, however, still fully focused on his golf, with the world number seven having already made five PGA Tour appearances this season.
He finished T15 at The Sentry before missing the cut at The American Express, while his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title defence certainly didn’t go to plan.
Clark ended T73 among a star-studded field, before finishing T16 and T31 at the WM Phoenix Open and the Genesis Invitational respectively.
