Wyndham Clark is having a career year after a terrible 2025. Now all he wants is to be loved
Clark says resilience and new equipment helped him rebound from a tough 2025 and reach third in the FedEx Cup standings.

- Following Sunday's BMW Championship, internet sleuths accused Clark of improving his lie; he denied it, stating "I never fully put the club down behind it" as routine procedure.
- Embracing a redemption mindset, Clark told CNN Sports that resilience after 2025's tough year proved crucial, crediting a new swing coach and putter for his three-win resurgence.
- While fans currently flock to world No. Scottie Scheffler, Clark hopes his head-down work ethic will eventually earn crowd support as he competes for the season-ending title.
