Emily Tanner is embracing life as a golf WAG, while adding some humor to her day-to-day on the Tour.
The model and influencer took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 22, to answer questions from followers. One asked, “What’s the best thing about being [Wyndham Clark’s] girl on tour? Any pinch me moments?”
“One thing I didn’t know is that I too would get sock tan lines,” she wrote in response over a photo of her legs stretched out on a lounge chair, sock tan lines fully visible. “But on a real note, it’s just the best feeling to be there for him, cheering him on doing what he loves.”
Tanner, 31, has been a fixture by the side of the 2026 U.S. Open champion Clark since they went public with their relationship in April. She also clarified the timeline of their relationship, telling another follower, “We met [at the] end of January and fell pretty fast.”
On another slide, a follower asked her for advice about resolving conflicts and wanted to know how to “grow closer.”
“Communication is everything and feeling safe with your partner will allow this to be easy,” Tanner replied. “Know your love languages, ask how you can do better in the relationship, and make sure both of your needs are met.”
Clark, 32, first met Tanner through a mutual friend. He exclusively recalled to Us in June how he was shocked to learn his celebrity crush was actually a friend of a friend.
“I was with a buddy of mine, and one of his friends was there, and he was like, ‘Hey, man, I got this girl that is a good friend of mine and she’s recently single and she’s accomplished,’” he said. “He said all of these nice things. I go, ‘Oh, cool, can I see a picture of her?’ He shows me Emily, and I go, ‘No way, I’ve had a crush on her forever.’”
But Clark soon found that Tanner was more than a model he followed on social media.
“She’s a huge part of my success,” he said. “We joke and call her my at-home caddie because she helps me with everything off the course. She just makes me so happy. We have so much fun together. When I’m away from golf, I’m able to decompress and not think about it because we truly just enjoy each other’s time. She’s amazing. She makes everything stress-free for me. She’s my biggest supporter, and she’s always out there watching me.”
Clark added, “I’m just happy and satisfied where I am off the course. I’m in love.”
