Wyndham Clark - English
Golf doesn’t usually do “unconventional,“ but the Grass League isn’t trying to play by traditional rules-and neither is Paige Spiranac.
While PGA Tour pros are still barred from competing in unsanctioned events like LIV Golf, a new team-based competition is carving its own lane. The Grass League, now in its second season, leans into what mainstream golf won’t: a loose, fun, and fast par-3 format with teams made up of retired pros, caddies, celebrities, and influencers.
That was annoying! Paige Spiranac falls victim to the wind and has difficulty on the golf course
And guess who’s helping tell the story?
Spiranac, one of golf’s biggest digital personalities, recently stepped in as a correspondent for the league, interviewing players and owners throughout its opening event. While she’s not swinging a club herself, her presence is adding legitimacy and plenty of eyeballs to the upstart tour.
Why PGA pros are out, but Wyndham Clark still got in
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has made it clear: active Tour members are not allowed to play in events like the Grass League. The reason? Scheduling conflicts. The May 2-3 event overlaps with the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The season-ending championship in December? Same weekend as the Hero World Challenge.
So how did Wyndham Clark show up anyway?
Because he bought in-literally. Back in March, Clark became the owner of the San Diego Munis, one of the league’s founding teams. Ownership doesn’t seem to violate Tour policies the way active participation does, allowing Clark to stay close to the action without breaking any rules.
His caddie, John Ellis, plays on the team. So does Joe Greiner, now looping for Collin Morikawa. But beyond them, not a single Tour player was in the mix.
And that’s no accident. According to Golf.com, the PGA Tour is increasingly wary of anything that could lure players away from its tightly packed calendar-even low-stakes events that play out over a single weekend.
The Grass League’s laid-back format might seem harmless: only three events per year, all par-3 holes, and 36 holes played quickly over two days. But even a small schedule conflict is enough to keep Tour players on the sidelines.
So, while the PGA draws its lines, Paige Spiranac is helping redraw the map. She’s not playing the game by old rules-she’s helping reinvent it.
