Professional golfer Wyndham Clark has decided to skip this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge tournament after capturing victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Sunday, joining Brooks Koepka in withdrawing from the event.
Clark delivered a spectacular final-round performance, shooting 11-under-par 60 to secure a total score of 30 under par for the tournament. His winning total came within one stroke of matching Scottie Scheffler’s record-tying performance from the previous year.
The victory represents Clark’s fourth career PGA Tour triumph and his first win since capturing the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this season.
Clark’s impressive performance significantly improved his standing in professional golf rankings, moving him up from 75th to 44th position in the Official World Golf Ranking. His FedEx Cup position also saw a dramatic jump from 82nd place to 34th.
Lanto Griffin has been called up from the alternate list to fill Clark’s vacant spot in the Charles Schwab Challenge field at Colonial Country Club. The tournament marks the second consecutive week of competition in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.
Koepka made his withdrawal decision on Sunday following a tied-for-14th finish at the Byron Nelson tournament.
