The world of professional golf has a captivating new power couple. Emily Tanner, the stunning social media influencer, has officially broken her silence on her high-profile relationship with PGA Tour superstar and two-time major champion Wyndham Clark.
After keeping their romance relatively low-key during its earliest stages, Tanner recently treated her massive online following to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into how she and the golf sensation first crossed paths, giving fans a taste of what life is like traveling on the elite professional golf circuit.
How Emily Tanner and Wyndham Clark First Met: A Modern Love Story
Taking to her Instagram account for an interactive Q&A session with her 741,000 followers, the blonde bombshell didn’t hold back when a fan asked the question on everyone’s lips: How did you and Wyndham meet?
Tanner shared a sweet video of the couple at a PGA Tour event, overlaying the clip with a candid explanation of their modern love story.
“Online/mutual friends,” Tanner revealed to her audience. “We met end of January and fell pretty fast. We’re super similar and get along so so well.”
While she kept the initial details short, she left her followers hanging on a cliffhanger, playfully teasing: “I’ll tell the full story soon.”
From Social Media to Major Championships
The timeline of their whirlwind romance shows just how fast things moved for the couple.
After connecting in late January, it wasn’t long before they decided to take their relationship public on one of the grandest stages in all of sports: The Masters Tournament at Augusta National.
In April, Clark proudly introduced Tanner to the golfing world during the iconic Par-3 Contest, a beloved Augusta tradition where players often invite family, spouses, and partners to act as their caddies.
Sporting the traditional white boiler suit, Tanner proved to be the ultimate good luck charm. Clark went on to secure a spectacular, career-best 21st-place finish at the legendary tournament.
Following their debut at The Masters, Clark shared pictures of the couple on his own social media channels, affectionately captioning the post by calling Tanner his “good luck charm.”
Life on the PGA Tour
Being a PGA Tour girlfriend—a title often referred to by sports media as a WAG (Wives and Girlfriends)—comes with a unique lifestyle filled with private jets, luxury resorts, and high-stakes drama.
When asked by a follower what the absolute best part of traveling the tour with Clark was, Tanner responded with a blend of humor and heartfelt emotion.
First, she joked about the unexpected physical side effects of standing on sun-drenched golf courses for hours at a time. Posting a lighthearted photograph of her bare feet, she wrote:
“One thing I didn’t know is that I too would get sock tan lines!”
Turning more serious, Tanner expressed how deeply meaningful it is to stand by Clark’s side as he competes against the best players in the world.
“But on a real note, it’s just the best feeling to be there for him, cheering him on doing what he loves,” she added.
Standing by Her Man Amid U.S. Open Drama
Tanner’s dedication to supporting her boyfriend was put on full display at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
The final round of the prestigious tournament turned into a highly charged, pressure-cooker environment.
Clark faced intense hostility from sections of the crowd, resulting in ugly scenes where security and local police had to physically eject multiple rowdy spectators for shouting vitriolic abuse at the golfer.
Despite the chaotic atmosphere, Clark held his nerve to claim his historic second U.S. Open championship. Waiting right at the edge of the 18th green of the iconic Long Island course was Tanner.
As soon as the final putt dropped, she rushed to embrace him, celebrating a massive milestone in his professional career.
This major victory added to a sensational season for Clark, who also dominated The CJ Cup Byron Nelson earlier in the year, stunning the golf world with a historic, scintillating final-round score of 60.
Wyndham Clark Drops Bombshell College Cheating Allegations Involving Baker Mayfield
While Clark’s current relationship with Tanner is thriving, the golfer recently made headlines for airing out some decades-old dirty laundry regarding his past love life.
During an unfiltered appearance on Barstool Sports’ popular Pardon My Take podcast, the hosts confronted Clark about an old tweet from 2016 in which he wrote: “I hate baker mayfield.”
Instead of brushing the old social media post aside, the two-time major champion decided to clear the air once and for all.
“I’m trying to decide if I should tell the story… alright screw it I don’t care. People already hate me,” Clark joked before diving into the details.
Clark explained that back in 2016, while he was attending Oklahoma State University before transferring to the University of Oregon, his girlfriend at the time was unfaithful to him.
The man she allegedly cheated with was none other than future NFL quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was playing college football for the rival University of Oklahoma Sooners at the time.
“My girlfriend at the time cheated on me with Baker Mayfield,” Clark stated bluntly on the podcast.
Burying the Hatchet on the Golf Course
Despite the past heartbreak, Clark insisted that he no longer holds a grudge against the current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.
In fact, his perspective on the situation has completely evolved over the last ten years.
“But here’s what I would say: I’m actually a Baker fan now, I think he’s a homie,” Clark admitted. “That’s your initial response, ‘Screw that guy.’ But really it’s screw the [girlfriend].”
Clark even expressed a desire to invite the NFL star out for a round of golf to officially put the past behind them as mature adults.
“I hope this is a bro moment for us to be like ‘Oh, bro, I didn’t know. My bad. She never told me,’ and I’ll tell him, ‘It’s all good, we’re homies, let’s play golf.’ That’s where I hope it comes from.”
Clarifying the Timeline
To avoid any confusion among fans, internet sleuths have pointed out that the ex-girlfriend involved in the Baker Mayfield drama is not Alicia Bogdanski.
Bogdanski is Clark’s most notable recent ex-partner; the pair began dating in 2021 and quietly parted ways four years later.
The individual involved in the 2016 college incident remains an unnamed partner from Clark’s university days.
With the old drama firmly in his rearview mirror and his golf game at an all-time high, Wyndham Clark looks forward to a bright future on and off the course, powered by the love and support of his ultimate good luck charm, Emily Tanner.
