Who is Wyndham Clark's Caddy? Meet John Ellis

Since turning professional in 2017, Wyndham Clark won three times on the PGA Tourincluding 2023 US Open. All this time he had John Ellis in his bag.

After attending the University of Oregon, Ellis turned professional in 2003. He enjoyed a successful career, winning the Canadian Tour Order of Merit in 2008, after winning three times in the same season.

The same year, Ellis reached a career-high number 245 in the world rankings. He then competed in a handful of PGA Tour events, with his best finish coming at the Fry’s.com Open, where he finished 24th.

Ellis also competed in two US Opens, but unfortunately missed the cut each time.

After serving his time on tour, Ellis hung up his clubs in 2016 and returned to the University of Oregon to take on the role of assistant head coach for the men’s golf team.

It was while coaching at Oregon that he met Clarke. During Clark’s senior year at college, Ellis was assigned as his junior.

A year later, Clark turned professional and Ellis remained on his bag, and by 2018 the duo had secured playing rights on the PGA Tour.

During their first year together on the PGA Tour, Clark recorded three top-ten finishes, with his best finish coming at the 3M Open, where he tied for 5th.

Clark finally broke into the world’s top 100 in 2023 after a T5 finish at the Valspar Championship, and just two months later he entered the winner’s circle for the first time at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Just months after securing his first victory, Clark won the 2023 US Open at LA Country Club in a dramatic one-stroke victory over Rory McIlroy.

The win also secured Clark’s position on the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup team. Although the U.S. team was blown away by Europe, Clark finished the week at Marco Simone Country Club with a respectable 1 -1-1.

Clark and Ellis earned their third PGA Tour victory at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, solidifying Clark’s position in the world’s top 10.

After a successful start to 2024, Clark and Ellis will also represent Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
