He would need to play 15 tournaments (and win enough prize money) to qualify for membership, but says he is happy to ply his trade on both sides of the Atlantic.

Clarke has enjoyed a rest from the rigours of the professional circuit and is “bursting to get back playing again”, something he will do next week in the Dimension Data pro-am at Sun City, South Africa.
