Wyndham Clark is the solo leader at THE PLAYERS Championship after finishing 36 holes at TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. Following his runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Clark is now once again in contention for a top spot.

If he does win the event, this will be his fourth victory on the PGA Tour; however, surprisingly, it won’t be his best achievement either! Clark has amassed some incredible accolades over the years. And here are three of perhaps his finest:

1. Wyndham Clark to be in PLAYERS Championship’s history book

In the two rounds of the 2024 PLAYERS Championship, Wyndham Clark has shot two back-to-back rounds of 7 under 65. Per The Athletic, no player has ever carded such consistent low rounds at TPC Sawgrass in the history of the event! Moreover, with a score of 14 under in two rounds, Clark becomes only the fourth player to shoot a low score or better in two rounds at the event.

The one-time major winner joins the likes of Greg Norman (1994, 14 under), Jason Day (2016, 15 under), and Webb Simpson (2018, 15 under), who scored similar rounds to Clark and eventually went on to win the fifth major. Will Clark follow the same path and win the 50th PLAYERS Championship?

2. Wyndham Clark’s dramatic turnaround in a year 

When turning the pages to last season, Wyndham Clark entered the field at THE PLAYERS Championship in 2023 with zero victories on the PGA Tour and was ranked 116th on the OWGR. However, in the last 10 months, he has won a major (the U.S. Open) and two signature events: the Wells Fargo Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Moreover, he was also part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team.

In the 144-field at the 2024 PLAYERS Championship, Clark was one of the top players and has now been ranked 5th in the world. The massive turnaround in a relatively short time is a testament to Clark’s real potential. Unarguably, he is one of the best golfers of today’s time.

3. Wyndham Clark’s astonishing statistic 

In addition to his incredible stat of meeting the greens, Wyndham Clark has hit 23 greens in regulation out of the last 26 greens he has played. Moreover, at THE PLAYERS Stadium, the 1-time major champion has met at least 15 greens in regulation in the last two rounds. He has also gained three or more strokes in the two rounds, making another historical record.

According to the ShotLink data recorded since 2003, Clark is the only player to shoot two consecutive rounds of three more strokes at the PLAYERS Championship and the only player after Sergio Garcia (2013 and 2021) to have more than one such round at TPC Sawgrass. With everything falling perfectly together to make Clark the potential winner of the 50th PLAYERS Championship, will the next two rounds be in his favor too? Tune in with us to find out.
