Clanton would likely only consider turning pro early if he were to win a Tour event, like Nick Dunlap did earlier this year at the American Express. Otherwise, Clanton will keep working toward his Tour card via PGA Tour University’s Accelerated program; he’s currently at nine points with 20 points needed to satisfy the program’s requirements.

Clanton, who has one more Tour start planned for this summer (3M Open), can earn Accelerated points for making a Tour cut (1) and posting a top-10 in a Tour event (1). The current world No. 3 amateur also has two more points available should he climb to No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Three points will also go to the winner of the U.S. Amateur next month at Hazeltine.
