ABOUT PLAY BIG FOUNDATION:


Professional golfer Wyndham Clark launched the "Play Big Foundation" in Jan. 2024, with a focus on giving back to families affected by cancer. The foundation was created in remembrance of his mother, Lise, who encouraged Wyndham to “Play Big.” An additional small portion of the funds will benefit young, underprivileged kids, who are interested in playing the game of golf.

ABOUT WYNDHAM CLARK: Born and raised in Denver, Wyndham started playing the game of golf at the age of 3 when his mom brought him to the driving range. He instantly fell in love, had his first hole-in-one by 6 and his first tournament win at 8. Wyndham continued his stellar youth golf career after winning two Colorado State Championships before playing collegiately at Oklahoma State and then Oregon, earning Conference Player of the Year titles in 2014 and 2017. Sadly, while in college, Wyndham’s mother passed away from breast cancer, leaving him with a final message to: “Play Big,” which he uses to play for something bigger than just himself, including starting the Play Big Foundation, established in 2024.


Wyndham’s golfing career has skyrocketed since collecting his first professional win at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. He won his first major in epic fashion, defeating Rory McIlroy by one stroke at the at the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club. He went on to represent the United States in the 2023 Ryder Cup, collected his third career win after carding a course record 60 at the famous Pebble Beach and is currently No.6 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Wyndham continues to build his brand both on and off the course and was named a “Breakout Star” of Season 2 of Full Swing on Netflix, where he opens up about his work with a mental coach.
