Emily Tanner, girlfriend of major-winning golfer Wyndham Clark, has offered insights into their relationship, detailing how they met and her experiences supporting him on the PGA Tour. Tanner revealed in an Instagram Q&A session that she and Clark met through a combination of online connections and mutual friends. "We met end of January and fell pretty fast," Tanner stated. "We're super similar and get along so so well."
Tanner has been a visible presence supporting Clark at various PGA Tour events, including his second U.S. Open victory at Shinnecock Hills in June. She described the experience of being present for his tournaments as a rewarding one. "On a real note, it's just the best feeling to be there for him, cheering him on doing what he loves," she said.
Clark publicly acknowledged Tanner as "my good luck charm" when they appeared together at The Masters in April, where they officially launched their relationship during the par-3 contest. Tanner has amassed a significant following on social media, with 741,000 followers on Instagram, and also operates her own marketing firm.
Clark's career has seen notable successes recently, including winning The CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May and his U.S. Open triumph. During the final round of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, Clark faced disruptive behavior from some fans, prompting police intervention to remove multiple individuals for shouting abuse. Tanner was present on the 18th green to celebrate his victory.
In a separate interview on the "Pardon My Take" podcast, Clark made headlines by alleging that a former girlfriend had been unfaithful with NFL quarterback Baker Mayfield during their college years. Clark stated that he is now on amicable terms with Mayfield and expressed a hope for a future golf meeting between them. He clarified that his ex-girlfriend from that period is not Alicia Bogdanski, whom he dated from 2021. The alleged infidelity involved an unnamed partner from his college days.
