Wyndham Clark prize money: How much will CJ Cup Byron Nelson winner take home? Full payout and purse
Wyndham Clark walked away with the biggest paycheck of the week after capturing the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson title
Wyndham Clark walked away with the biggest paycheck of the week after capturing the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson title at TPC Craig Ranch. Clark earned $1,854,000 after shooting a stunning 30-under-par 254 and closing with an 11-under 60 on Sunday. The victory marked the fifth PGA Tour title of his career and his first win since Pebble Beach in 2024.
The 2023 US Open champion overtook Si Woo Kim and pulled away from hometown favorite Scottie Scheffler during a scorching back-nine run.
Wyndham Clark surged late with back-nine 28
Clark entered the final round tied near the lead alongside Scheffler but didn’t officially grab the outright advantage until an eagle on the par-5 12th hole.
From there, he never looked back.
The 32-year-old posted a back-nine 28 and drained multiple clutch birdie putts over the closing stretch, including a 45-footer at the par-3 15th that sparked an emotional fist pump.
He added another birdie at the par-3 17th before nearly holing out his approach at 18, leaving himself a tap-in birdie to complete the round of 60.
It was the second time Clark closed a PGA Tour victory with a 60, having done the same at Pebble Beach two years ago.
Si Woo Kim falls short after strong start
Kim began Sunday with a two-shot lead and remained in contention deep into the final round after another strong performance on the vulnerable par-71 setup.
The South Korean star finished with a 65 but couldn’t match Clark’s pace over the closing holes.
A key moment came at the 15th when Kim narrowly missed a 44-foot birdie attempt shortly after Clark buried his long putt on the same green.
Kim eventually finished three shots behind Clark in second place.
Scottie Scheffler unable to defend title
World No 1 Scheffler, who won the event by eight shots a year ago while tying the PGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record at 31-under, never fully mounted a serious charge Sunday.
Scheffler carded a 65 and finished at 25-under, tied for third after briefly sharing the lead Saturday.
One pivotal moment came at the short par-4 sixth hole when Scheffler’s approach struck the pin and spun 54 feet away, forcing him to settle for par while both Clark and Kim made birdie.
The four-time major champion ultimately finished five shots behind Clark.
