Wyndham Clark reveals: After his 2023 U.S. Open triumph, the phone rang, and on the other end was then-President Donald Trump, who analyzed every single shot of the incredible round in detail. This call was "one of the coolest of my life," according to Clark, who was totally surprised by Trump's detailed knowledge of his amazing up-and-downs and crucial putts. A true golf savant who apparently didn't miss a minute of the spectacle.
The "Villain" Reputation
Clark, who jokingly remarked after a difficult period and media criticism that he sometimes felt like the "villain," will be celebrated once again by US fans at the 2026 Presidents Cup. Alongside stars like Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa, he is a key player on Team USA and truly strong on the green.
More Than Just a Game
The fact that a US President is so interested in the game and its athletes is "quite astonishing" and a sign of appreciation – completely detached from political views. It is this spirit that also drives the greatest golfers when they go birdie hunting for their country and give their all on the green.
