Wyndham Clark's new contract with Ping paid off immediately.Tracy Wilcox/PGA TOUR via Getty ImagesHaving just won the U.S. Open for the second time in three years, Wyndham Clark was quick to credit the club that helped him to the victory.
“I played some ugly golf the last two days, but my putter and short game kept me in it,” Clark told Mike Tirico at the Trophy ceremony. “To make all the putts that I did with my Ping putter that I love so much has been amazing.”
On the 72nd hole, Clark lagged his 52-foot birdie putt to just nine inches to secure his second major title and second victory of the season since making the move to a Ping Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset CB putter. Clark credited the putter multiple times over the past few weeks for the turnaround in his game from 2025.
Just this week, Clark signed a unique putter-endorsement contract with Ping to continue using the putter. It was the first putter-only deal for Ping in more than 50 years of sponsoring Tour players.
“I credit the new putter for helping me get back in the winner’s circle,” Clark said in a release announcing the deal. “The white finish first got my attention and when I started rolling putts with it, it set up easily and gave me immediate confidence. I’d never used a putter with onset before, so it was a new look for me that really matches my eye. The onset combined with the top-rail dot simplifies alignment and my consistency has improved. I’m sinking more long putts than ever.”
Clark, who started the year as a gear free agent after his previous contract with Titleist expired at the end of 2025, cycled through putters over the season’s first two months. He then switched to the Scottsdale TEC in March at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and later moved to a heavier counterbalanced version at the RBC Heritage in April.
Since the move to the 38″ counterbalanced model, Clark has skyrocketed in the PGA Tour’s SG: Putting statistic, going from losing .725 strokes a round and ranked 155th on Tour to T62 in the stat, gaining .120 strokes on the field. Much of the improvement has come from 5 to 15 feet, where Clark’s make percentage has gone from 160th on Tour to 55th.
This week, Clark was T4 in Strokes Gained: Putting, picking up more than 6 shots on the field.
News Wyndham Clark holds on at Shinnecock, wins 2nd U.S. Open title By: Zephyr MeltonWhile he’s now tied down with his putter, Clark remains a free agent for the rest of his bag other than continuing to rep Titleist for the Pro V1x golf ball. Aside from the putter, the other club he’s really embraced free agency with is the driver.
The 2023 U.S. Open champion also began the season by using four different drivers in his first five events, but eventually settled on the TaylorMade Qi4D. He won in Dallas in his first week playing Project X’s new Titan Yellow wood shaft and made more changes over the past two weeks to the setup, dropping from a 10.5 lofted head because of high spin.
“It’s actually a high loft 9° head and we were just looking to get his spin rates down to like 2500-2400,” TaylorMade Tour Rep Adrian Rietveld said. “So we handpicked the 9° head because we couldn’t do it with the 10.5˚.
“Same settings, same weight setup and everything, we just needed to find a loft setup. We had a fraction less loft.”
He finished 14th for the week at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in SG: Off-the-Tee.
The victory means that all five of the men’s and women’s majors this season have been won by TaylorMade drivers, with Clark joining Rory McIlroy and Nelly Korda in winning four of the five of them with the Qi4D driver. Clark is the only major winner using the Qi4D without a contract.
The rest of his bag includes a Ping G440 Max 3-wood — becoming the first player in the last seven majors to win without using the TaylorMade Qi10 — the same Titleist T-Series irons he played while under contract with Titleist last season and Vokey SM11 wedges.

Project X Titan Black Wood Shaft You can only evolve so many times. Then you have to reinvent. Designed and engineered in our R&D Lab in San Diego, CA, Titan Black is built to meet the demands of today’s faster, more aggressive swingers. A more elastic handle section progressively firms through the mid and tip, delivering a smooth feel with added stability where it matters most. Synex Technology utilizes multi-axial carbon fibers to reinforce the shaft’s outer structure, increasing hoop stiffness from the handle through the mid-section for efficient energy transfer and enhanced control. By blending feel and stability, Titan Black gives players the confidence to swing faster without sacrificing dispersion or consistency. $350.00 from Fairway Jockey View ProductJack Hirsh/GOLF3-Wood: Ping G440 Max 15.0
