As the azaleas bloomed at Augusta National for the 2026 Masters, one of golf’s most private stars made a surprising and very public reveal. Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, arrived for the tournament’s cherished Par 3 Contest with a new face by his side, one that quickly became the talk of the golf world. It was a true ‘hard launch’ as he introduced his new girlfriend, model and influencer Emily Tanner, to the world, bringing a fresh chapter of his personal life into the spotlight.
The 32-year-old golfer, who has often kept his life off the course guarded, seemingly couldn’t contain his excitement. After scoring a hole-in-one during the contest, he took to Instagram to share a series of photos with Tanner, who was serving as his caddie for the day. He captioned the post, “Par 3 with my good luck charm 🍀,” a sentiment his new partner echoed by replying, “My love ❤️”. The reaction from fellow golfer Brooks Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims, perfectly summed up the event, calling it a resounding “Hard launch!!”

The New Girlfriend: Emily Tanner
So, who is the woman who has captured the attention of one of golf’s top stars? Emily Tanner is a 31-year-old model and social media influencer from Michigan, now based in Los Angeles. With over 720,000 followers on Instagram, she has built a successful career collaborating with major brands like Revolve and Celsius. Beyond her work in front of the camera, Tanner is also a savvy entrepreneur, having co-founded the Over Social Agency, a full-service influencer marketing agency.
The relationship appears to have blossomed quietly in early 2026. While the couple only went public at the Masters, fans noticed a soft launch back in March when Tanner posted a photo of Clark during The Players Championship in Florida. At the Par 3 Contest, Tanner fully embraced the role of caddie, donning the famous white jumpsuit and even taking a swing herself, sharing a video with the caption, “At least one of us got a hole in one”. Clark has since called her his “good luck charm,” and she has been a regular and supportive presence at his tournaments.
A Look Back at Wyndham Clark’s Dating History
Before the public fanfare surrounding Emily Tanner, Wyndham Clark’s most notable relationship was with Alicia Bogdanski. While Clark has generally kept his personal life private, Bogdanski was a constant figure of support during the most significant period of his career. It was Alicia who was by his side and embraced him in an iconic moment on the 18th green after he defeated Rory McIlroy to win his first major championship at the 2023 U.S. Open in Los Angeles. She was also seen supporting him at other victories, including the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The timeline of their split is unclear, but it is believed they ended their long-term relationship sometime before the start of 2025.

Aside from Alicia Bogdanski, rumors have previously linked Clark to a few other individuals. Reports suggest he had been linked to Julia Kemmling, a former Quinnipiac University student who later became a women’s golf assistant coach. Clark himself has also made light of his dating life in the past. In a playful interview, he joked that he changes drivers “like girlfriends,” adding that sometimes it’s “nice to have a week-long girlfriend”. That comment, however, now seems like a distant memory as he appears to have found a steady and prominent partner in Emily Tanner.
