Wyndham Clark, celebrated US Open champion, has officially parted company with long-time caddie John Ellis. Ellis was crucial in Clark's ascent to the top of the golfing world since their partnership began in 2016 when Ellis took on a coaching role at the University of Oregon, where Clark was a senior.
The pair went on to capture several high-profile victories, including a memorable win at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. This was followed by a triumphant one-stroke victory against rivals like Rory McIlroy at the US Open, with Ellis's coaching keenly contributing to Clark's success.
However, after a challenging period in 2024, with only two top-ten finishes from 31 tournaments, Clark has decided to refresh his team.
Clark now welcomes Dave Pelekoudas, renowned for his tenure with various pros, including Xander Schauffele and Taylor Moore. Known as "Big Wave Dave," Pelekoudas will debut at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort.
