Clanton is currently ranked No. 1 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings.

Since last summer, Clanton has made eleven PGA Tour stats with eight made cuts, three top-five finishes, and a pair of runners-up. Next week will be his fourth start of 2025, and he made the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open and placed T-15. In 2025, he missed the cut at the Sony Open and WM Phoenix Open.

Clanton is 93rd in the Official World Golf Ranking as an amateur and is only one point away from earning his PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour U Accelerated Program. He will tee it up at the Cognizant Classic next week in hopes of earning his Tour Card.

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Nelly Korda, and Brooks Koepka are among Nike Golf's current athletes. Now, Clanton joins them as he gears up for the start of his professional career.
