Wyndham Clark wins CJ Cup Byron Nelson with final-round 60 in McKinney

Wyndham Clark turned TPC Craig Ranch into a McKinney showcase on Sunday, closing with an 11-under 60 and back-to-back birdies to win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at 30 under par. The packed gallery around the 18th green saw Clark finish off one of the tournament’s most dramatic endings, a final-round surge that gave North Texas golf fans a home-tournament finish to remember.

Clark’s victory came by three strokes over Si Woo Kim and five over Scottie Scheffler, who had set the standard at this event a year earlier with a record 31-under 253. The win was Clark’s fourth PGA Tour title and his first since 2024, and it came on a Sunday when the leaderboard had promised a showdown with two of the game’s biggest names. Clark answered the pressure with a round that separated him from the field and sealed the kind of finish that becomes part of tournament lore.

The tournament was played May 21-24 at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney on a par-71 layout listed at 7,385 yards, with a $10.3 million purse. The course had undergone a $25 million redesign ahead of the 2026 event, with completely redesigned bunkers, resurfaced greens, new turf and lengthened holes intended to curb the extreme low scoring that had defined recent editions. Instead, the changes still set the stage for a final day that produced a winning score of 30 under.

For McKinney, the result carried weight beyond the trophy. The CJ Cup Byron Nelson has raised more than $195 million for Momentous Institute since 1968, tying the event to a long-running charitable mission that reaches well beyond Collin County. McKinney approved a five-year agreement in October 2025 to keep hosting the tournament through 2030, extending a run that has brought thousands of visitors, national television exposure and millions in economic impact to the city.

TPC Craig Ranch has become one of the region’s signature sports stages, and Sunday’s finish reinforced why. With Clark’s closing 60, the Byron Nelson again gave McKinney a national moment, placing the city at the center of a PGA Tour finish that blended elite scoring, local pride and a tournament identity that now sits firmly in the Dallas-Fort Worth golf landscape.
