Wyndham Clark Banned by Oakmont After Outburst

Former U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark has been suspended from Oakmont Country Club after a destructive locker room outburst during the 2025 U.S. Open, where he damaged property following a missed cut. The club's president, John Lynch, informed members that Clark will remain banned until he pays for all damages, completes anger management or counseling, and makes a charitable donation. Viral photos of the damage sparked widespread media attention and discussions on sportsmanship. Clark has apologized publicly, expressing regret, but Oakmont’s leadership demands he fulfill all outlined conditions before considering reinstatement. This incident follows a similar episode earlier in the year, when Clark damaged property at the PGA Championship. Oakmont is scheduled to host the U.S. Open again in 2033, the final year of Clark’s major exemption, but his participation will depend on meeting the club’s requirements.
