Wyndham Clark withdrew from The Players Championship in the middle of his second round.
Clark had just finished closing out his front nine of the second round with a 4-over 40 when he was shown shaking the hands of playing partners Jordan Spieth and Danny Walker on the Golf Channel broadcast. No immediate reason was provided for Clark’s withdrawal.
A runner-up at TPC Sawgrass in 2024, Clark carded an even-par 72 in the first round Thursday. His second round started to come off the rails with a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 second hole. He added bogeys on two of the next three holes before closing out the front nine with four consecutive pars.
Clark is eighth in Official World Golf Ranking while coming off a tie for 22nd at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational. He joins Australian Jason Day in withdrawing; the 2016 Players Championship winner pulled out of this year’s event on Thursday due to an illness.
Spieth, who was originally scheduled to play the first two rounds with Clark and Day, played the back nine on Friday in a twosome with Walker, who replaced Day in the field.
