Wyndham Clark walked away with the biggest payday of the week after a sensational performance at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, capturing the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson title in style. Clark closed with a stunning 11-under-par 60 on Sunday to finish at 30-under overall, securing a three-shot victory and earning the winner’s check of $1.854 million from the tournament’s $10.3 million purse.
The victory marked Clark’s first PGA Tour win in more than two years and added another significant milestone to his growing career résumé. Si Woo Kim, who entered the final round with the lead, finished runner-up and collected more than $1.1 million for his efforts, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler took solo third place after another strong week in Texas.
The CJ Cup Byron Nelson once again delivered one of the lowest-scoring events on the PGA Tour calendar, with several players reaching 20-under par or better across the week. Jackson Suber recorded a career-best finish in fourth, while Keith Mitchell rounded out the top five. Notable names including Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth and Sungjae Im also secured sizable payouts after making the weekend cut.
Clark’s dominant Sunday charge not only earned him a massive paycheck, but also valuable FedEx Cup points, Official World Golf Ranking points and renewed momentum heading into the heart of the PGA Tour season. The 2023 U.S. Open champion looked back to his best throughout the week, producing birdies in bunches and reminding everyone why he remains one of the most dangerous players in professional golf when his game catches fire.
