Wyndham Clark Banned From Oakmont After 2025 US Open Damage

Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, has been banned from Oakmont Country Club following damage he caused to the clubhouse locker room after missing the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open. Oakmont Country Club President John Lynch announced the ban, which will remain until Clark pays for the damages, makes a charitable contribution, and completes counseling or anger management sessions. Clark has publicly apologized for his actions, calling it a mistake made in a moment of rage during a difficult year, and expressed a desire to move on and focus on his career goals, including making the Ryder Cup team. This incident marked the second consecutive major where Clark displayed aggressive behavior, as he previously damaged signage at the PGA Championship. Oakmont, set to host the U.S. Open again in 2033, has made reinstatement contingent on Clark fulfilling the outlined conditions. Despite the ban, Clark remains optimistic about his future on the PGA Tour and hopes to turn the page on these incidents.
