Wyndham Clark Reveals Ex-Girlfriend Cheated With NFL Star

“I’m trying to decide if I should tell the story. Alright, screw it, I don’t care,” Clark said during the episode. “My girlfriend at the time cheated on me with Baker Mayfield.”

The golfer indicated that he hopes the revelation could lead to a reconciliation. He suggested the two might find common ground if Mayfield was unaware of the situation.
