The potential move of 2023 US Open winner Wyndham Clark to the LIV Golf team has been the subject of recent speculation. This comes after Jon Rahm’s surprising departure from the PGA Tour to join the breakaway LIV Golf series, leading to suggestions that other top golfers may also join his new team.
According to reports from LIV Golf Updates on X (formerly Twitter), it is said that Wyndham Clark is close to finalizing a deal with LIV. Additionally, it is expected that World No. 10 amateur golfer Caleb Surratt will join Rahm’s new LIV Golf team.
As these rumors continue to gain traction, golf enthusiasts from around the world have been vocal in expressing their thoughts about the potential move and the establishment of the new Legion XIII team. Many fans have not been supportive of Clark’s potential move to LIV, with some comments branding him as a one-hit wonder.
One individual expressed their sentiment on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “He won’t be missed – Ryder Cup performance was brutal and good thing the 18th fairway at LACC was as wide as an NFL field.” Another user added, “Good we don’t want to watch that slow play anyway.” There were also allusions to Clark’s lone Major win, with one remark stating, “One hit wonder anyways.”
Numerous other fans have also weighed in online with their reactions to these latest developments. While no official confirmation has been made regarding the rumors, it’s worth noting that Wyndham Clark recently participated in the PGA Tour season opener, the 2024 Sentry tournament, where he finished T29.
The golf world was taken aback by Jon Rahm’s move to the LIV Golf series, particularly as the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabian PIF are in discussions to establish a new, more expansive golf entity.
Following Rahm’s shift to the LIV Series, reports have emerged indicating his intention to bring on board other top golfers to form a strong team, with players like Tyrrell Hatton, Viktor Hovland, and Wyndham Clark being mentioned in the mix. It has been suggested that Clark has been engaged in negotiations with LIV over the past few months, and a potential agreement is now closer than ever.
In addition to Wyndham Clark, the expected inclusion of Caleb Surratt, who holds the 10th rank in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and featured in the 2021 US Team for the Junior Ryder Cup, has generated anticipation. The final slot on the team is likely to be filled by one of the golfers who distinguished themselves at the LIV Golf promotional event. With the upcoming LIV season slated to commence in February, there is mounting pressure on Rahm to finalize a complete team.
As the golfing world continues to buzz with speculation, the prospect of Wyndham Clark’s potential move to the LIV Golf team alongside Jon Rahm has captured the attention of fans and pundits alike. It remains to be seen how these developments will unfold and what the future holds for the sport.
