Why Wyndham Clark chose extreme way to hard launch relationship at Masters

1 hour ago 3

Wyndham Clark chose a unique way to hard launch his new relationship.

Clark had girlfriend Emily Tanner caddy for him at the Par-3 tournament leading up to the 2026 Masters at Augusta National in April.

The moment came a few weeks after Clark’s viral moment with Kay Adams at the Players’ Championship where he referenced not having a girlfriend.

The hard-launch came fairly early on in their relationship. Clark said it was only their second or third date, but he said “might as well go big.”

Clark also had Tanner, an influencer, take a swing on the famed Augusta .

“The best thing about that is I told her she had to hit a shot, you know?” Clark told “Pardon My Take” this week. “And so she’s freaking out, like practicing beforehand. We get on the first tee because she’s never really watched, she’s not a golfer.

“She’s never watched it. So we get on the first tee and I’m like ‘okay, your turn to hit.’ And you know it’s just lined with fans. And she goes, ‘No, I’m not hitting. I’m going to kill somebody.”

Clark later made the relationship Instagram official with a post of the pair and called Tanner his “good luck charm.”

And for good reason. Shortly after the Augusta National hard launch, Clark secured his first tour win since 2024 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May. After his win, Tanner immediately greeted him on the course.

Tanner, 31, is a full-time model and influencer with 730,000 followers on Instagram.

She also launched an influencer marketing agency, Over Social Agency, alongside Nancy Nguyen in 2021. She began modeling in college while getting her public health degree at Michigan State University, later choosing to pursue modeling and social media as her career.
