Wyndham Clark’s regular caddie is attending a wedding in Italy, opening the door for Clark’s younger brother, Brendan, to carry his bag at the Mexico Open. Brendan seized the temporary job with a playful ultimatum: hire him or lose his invitation to Brendan’s upcoming wedding. Clark says the week is a chance to spend time together—and, if he wins, help his brother cover wedding costs.

By the Numbers
  • $1.08 million: Mexico Open winner’s prize.
  • 5%–10%: Typical caddie share of a player’s winnings.
  • More than $100,000: Potential caddie payout for Brendan if Clark wins.
Yes, But

Brendan’s job is temporary, and Clark already has a caddie he’s happy with. The brothers are treating the week as a special chance to spend time together, but a strong finish could also bring Brendan a substantial wedding boost.

Bottom Line

A wedding-related opening—and a brotherly threat—put Brendan on the bag. Now Clark has extra incentive to play well: his success could help pay for the next family celebration.
