Wyndham Clark Reportedly Banned By Oakmont For Locker Damage During 2025 US Open

Wyndham Clark's frustration with his performance at the 2025 U.S. Open has earned him a ban from Oakmont Country Club.

Per ESPN's Mark Schlabach, Clark has been banned from Oakmont after damaging a locker in the clubhouse when he missed the cut at the U.S. Open in June.

In a letter to club members from Oakmont Country Club president John Lynch (h/t Schlabach), it was said the decision to ban Clark came after "multiple discussions" with the United States Golf Association and the club's board.

The letter does leave open the possibility for Clark's ban to be lifted if he pays for damages, makes a "meaningful contribution" to a charity selected by the Oakmont Country Club board and agrees to undergo counseling and/or anger management therapy.

Clark finished plus-eight with back-to-back rounds of 74 at the U.S. Open. He bogeyed two of the final three holes in the second round to miss the cut by one stroke.

Tron Carter of the No Laying Up podcast posted images of the locker room damage caused by Clark's outburst.

The situation came less than one month after Clark flung his driver behind the tee box after a bad drive on the 16th hole during the final round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.

Clark issued a public apology for the first incident in a statement released on X:

One week after the incident at Oakmont, Clark issued another apology for his outburst while speaking to reporters at the Travelers Championship:

"I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened. But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedExCup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things."

Clark has just one top-10 finish in 19 PGA Tour events this season. His best finish at a major tournament in 2025 was tied for 46th at the Masters. The 31-year-old hasn't won since a tournament since the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February 2024.

The ban from Oakmont doesn't really have an immediate impact on Clark. The course isn't scheduled to host the U.S. Open again until 2033.
