Wyndham Clark continued his high-profile romance with fitness influencer Emily Tanner as they shared a kiss after his return to the PGA Tour's winner's circle on Sunday. Clark went seven under par over his final eight holes and closed with an 11-under 60 to overtake Si Woo Kim and win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his first PGA Tour victory in two years.
Celebration on the Green
Tanner ran onto the green to celebrate with her beau after he sealed the victory, and the couple kissed in front of the gathered fans. She also posted several photos and videos from the celebrations, including one of them kissing and posing together. As part of his prize for winning the event in McKinney, Texas, Clark received a cowboy hat. Tanner captioned her post: 'I couldn't be more proud of you, my cutie cowboy @wyndhamclark.'
Relationship Timeline
Clark, the former US Open champion, kickstarted Masters week in style back in April by hard-launching his relationship with Tanner. The happy couple were seen together during the Par 3 contest at Augusta, with fitness influencer Tanner alongside Clark in white Masters overalls as his caddie for the day. Clark clearly relished having Tanner, 31, by his side, later sharing a picture of them on social media with the caption: 'Par 3 with my good luck charm.'
His post was met with widespread celebration. Model and golf WAG Jena Sims, married to Brooks Koepka, commented: 'Hard Launch!!' Another comment, from NFL agent Jacquelyn Dahl, said: 'Historic hard launch!' alongside three applauding emojis.
Previous Relationship
Prior to Tanner, the 32-year-old Clark had been in a long-term relationship with Alicia Bogdanski. They had been dating since late 2021, having met through mutual friends. Bogdanski even featured on the popular Netflix show 'Full Swing' during the third season. It is not clear when the couple split, but Bogdanski had previously spoken at length about being a supportive influence on Clark's career.
Victory and Performance
Clark's last victory was the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2024, where he also shot 60 in the third and final round in a tournament cut short by weather. His 30-under 254 last week was one shot shy of the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record, last matched by Scottie Scheffler a year ago at TPC Craig Ranch, which underwent more than $20 million in renovations to provide a more challenging course.
Past Controversies
Clark has had his moments of controversy in the past. Two years after his major triumph, he was banned from Oakmont Country Club, host of the 2025 US Open, after smashing a locker in the clubhouse following a missed cut. Oakmont Country Club president John Lynch wrote a letter after the tournament stating that Clark's ban would be lifted if he pays for damages, donates money to charity, and takes an anger management course.
'I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened,' Clark said the following week. 'But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of the year and things that come up.' Clark also damaged a T-Mobile sign at Quail Hollow, home of the 2025 PGA Championship, that same summer.
