The 2026 PGA Tour season is coming to a close after the BMW Championship with only the Tour Championship remaining at East Lake next week. During the lead-up to the BMW Championship there was a debate among players and media as to who would be the Player of the Year?
Most assumed it would be Scottie Scheffler, even though he only had two wins this season, with no major championships among those two victories. Some brought up other names, but a name which should be considered is Wyndham Clark.
Clark, has won three tournaments this season, the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the U.S. Open, and now the BMW Championship. Clark might not have the career resume as Scheffler, but he certainly has had a season to remember.
Sunday at the BMW Championship Clark held a five-shot lead in the final day, but saw his advantage evaporate as Rory McIlroy made enough putts to tie Clark with seven holes left to play.
