With personal-best 21st-place finish at Masters, Denver native Wyndham Clark surpasses $30 million in official PGA Tour earnings
By Gary Baines – 04/12/2026
After being tied for seventh place at the halfway point of the Masters, Denver native Wyndham Clark obviously was aiming to remain on the leaderboard throughout the weekend at Augusta National.
But it didn’t play out that way as an up-and-down final two days led to the Colorado Golf Hall of Famer finishing 21st in the golf tournament that attracts more attention than any other. Clark posted rounds of 72-68-72-73 for a 3-under-par total.
But while the final result may have been somewhat disappointing for Clark given where he stood after 36 holes, there was this:
— The showing was by far Clark’s best in three trips to the Masters, after missing the cut in his debut in 2024 and placing 46th last year.
— With the finish, Clark surpassed $30 million in official PGA Tour earnings for his career. With 197 starts on the circuit, he’s averaging more than $150,000 per tournament. Not a bad gig if you can get it. (Clark received $252,000 on Sunday, by the way.)
It should be noted that Max Homa also reached the $30 million milestone on Sunday, meaning that 60 players in history have now reached the mark.

— Clark can also look back fondly on making a hole-in-one on national TV in Wednesday’s Masters Par-3 Contest — draining a 107-yard shot with a 56-degree wedge. It was the 117th ace in the contest’s history.
— In the regular tournament, Clark made an eagle at the par-4 third hole, where he hit a 330-yard drive on Saturday and converted on a 5-foot putt.
— Clark has famously tasted success at a major, proudly including the 2023 U.S. Open among his three PGA Tour victories. But his next two best finishes in majors have come in the last two — a fourth at the 2025 British Open and Sunday’s 21st at the Masters. In all, he’s now teed it up in 16 majors.
Clark went into the final round seven strokes out of the lead, but did himself no favors with his start on Sunday. He played the first four holes in 2 over par, which meant he went 4 over in six holes when combining Saturday’s bogey-bogey finish with Sunday’s first four holes.
Putting was very much a factor in the early going as Clark missed a 5-footer and two 6-footers before teeing it up on No. 5. All told, he had 15 straight two-putt holes from No. 10 on Saturday through No. 6 on Sunday — which isn’t a good thing at the PGA Tour level.
Even though the flat stick improved for the remainder of Sunday’s round — Clark made all his putts inside of 12 feet for the final 14 holes — putting continued to hold him back in general as he finished among the bottom 13 players who made the cut in total putts. (Clark came into the week ranked No. 158 on the PGA Tour this season in Strokes Gained Putting.)
Clark’s biggest setback on Sunday came at the tough par-4 11th, where his tee shot strayed a bit right and his punch-shot second ran into the green-side pond. He carded a double-bogey 6 there — just his third double bogey at the Masters. But he rebounded with birdies on 13 (7 feet) and 16 (11 feet) and he one-putted four of his last six holes.
In all on Sunday, Clark finished with three birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey.
