Wyndham Clark has had the 2026 season of his dreams.
He entered the year struggling with his game. Clark had just two top-five finishes in 2025, and frustrations with his game bubbled over when he damaged the locker room at Oakmont during the US Open and threw his club into the galleries at the PGA Championship.

But 2026 saw him recover his best form. He won the US Open at Shinnecock and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson to put himself in contention for Player of the Year. It’s been an incredible turnaround.
But despite that, Clark said there are still things he wants to achieve this year as the season draws to a close.

What Wyndham Clark still wants to achieve in the 2026 season
Despite having an incredible 2026, Clark isn’t yet satisfied. He has his target set on three goals before the year is done.
Speaking to SportsCenter, he said, “The last two events for me is to try and stay in the top 10 or where I’m at. It would be amazing to try and get to that third or fourth spot.

“My eyes are also set on the Presidents Cup. I really want to make that team. They have changed the format a bit this year, so as long as you make it to the Tour Championship, it doesn’t really matter your number, and everything starts over.
“I am really looking forward to this week, I love this golf course and I feel like it suits my game.”
The PGA Tour season is a grind for everyone, especially for Clark this year who has had his share of highs and lows. And to add to this challenge, the players are battling the southern heat throughout the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Clark said if the mental or physical test is taking more of a toll at this stage of the year: “It’s a little bit of both. I think we get to this part of the year and you are mentally drained, and then we play in some of the hottest places in the US, and it becomes a physical test.”

The physical toll of the Memphis heat clearly affected play at the FedEx St Jude, as Scottie Scheffler won by nine. Keeping your focus in the gruelling heat is an underrated aspect of PGA Tour golf.
