Wyndham Clark gets brutally honest when asked about the PGA-PIF merger: "Not really been concerned"

After last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, Wyndham Clark's next stop on the PGA Tour comes at The Players Championship. This tournament is being held at TPC Sawgrass, and before the tournament could begin, Clark was part of a press conference in which he answered several questions.

One such question Clark answered was about the reunification of golf. The 31-year-old American golfer was asked whether he pays attention to the things going on with PIF and whether he is someone who believes in the need to reunify golf.

Wyndham Clark answered:

"I took kind of a stance about a year, year and a half ago where I wasn't going to be involved in it. I saw guys that were getting really involved in it, and their golf game went downhill because they were so consumed with dealing with mergers or any sort of issue and they're constantly in meetings or they're getting worked up and frustrated about everything that was going on, and I said, you know what, if I play good golf and if I'm one of the top players in the world, I'm going to have a place to play regardless of what happens. I have not really been concerned about it. I've just been more concerned about kind of getting myself in the best golf shape as I possibly can."

It's worth noting that Wyndham Clark is a name LIV Golf had approached back in the day. However, Clark turned the PIF-backed tour down. In an interview, the golfer said he would have happily joined LIV provided he could have continued playing on the PGA Tour.
