Wyndham Clark is currently leading the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills, holding a four-stroke lead heading into the third round. The 32-year-old American has been in the headlines for both his stellar performance and personal life.
US Open Venue Ban
Clark faced a ban from Oakmont Country Club after intentionally damaging facilities in the locker room during the 2025 US Open. Club executives stated he would not be permitted on the property until he repaid damages, donated to charity, and completed anger management counseling. It remains unclear if these conditions have been met. Clark later apologized for his outburst.
Influencer Girlfriend
Clark has been publicly supported by his influencer girlfriend, Emily Tanner, 31. She was spotted in a blue skirt cheering him on at the US Open. Tanner has over 700,000 Instagram followers and shares glimpses of their life on tour.
Shock Caddie Split
Clark unexpectedly parted ways with long-time caddie John Ellis earlier this year. Ellis described the split as mutual, prioritizing their friendship over business. Veteran caddie Dave Pelekoudas has taken over for Clark's current championship run.
