Wyndham Clark was disqualified from the 2022 Genesis Invitational after finishing his opening round and signing for an incorrect score.
The 28-year-old posted a six-over 77 before being informed of his disqualification. The PGA Tour released a statement on Twitter, which read: “Wyndham Clark is a DQ following R1 of The Genesis Invitational for signing an incorrect scorecard.”

Clark came into the event at Riviera Country Club without much form, having missed the cut at last week’s raucous WM Phoenix Open. Having once hovered around the world’s top 100, he is now languishing down in 243rd place.
He is yet to win on the PGA Tour, with his best result coming at the 2020 Bermuda Championship where he lost out in a play-off to Brian Gay. Clark’s DQ meant Brendan Steele and Brandon Hagy were left in a twoball for the second round.
Joaquin Niemann set the early pace with an eight-under 63 to lead by three from Jordan Spieth, Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young and defending champion Max Homa. The Chilean has since extended that advantage as he looks to complete a wire-to-wire victory and set a new tournament scoring record in the process.
All of the world’s top 10 are in action as the topic of the rumoured and highly controversial Saudi Golf League continues to hit the headlines. Ahead of the event, Rory McIlroy admitted he is “so sick” of the constant speculation, while World No. 1 Jon Rahm explicitly pledged his allegiance to the PGA Tour.
This comes after fellow Tour pro Kramer Hicock told the Stripe Show podcast that he had heard as many as 17 players had officially signed with the F1-style breakaway circuit. That number has since reportedly risen to 20, with an official announcement believed to be in the pipeline for the week of the Players Championship, the flagship event of the PGA Tour.
