U.S. Open Champion Banned From Major Golf Course
U.S. Open Champion Banned From Major Golf Course originally appeared on The Spun. Veteran PGA golfer Wyndham Clark is reportedly no longer welcome on the grounds of a tournament he once won. According to the 2023 U.S. Open champ has been banned from Oakmont Country Club for his behavior following last month's missed cut after "multiple discussions" between course president John Lynch and the USGA. In a letter sent to members this week, Lynch outlined the club's decision: Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board. Oakmont noted that it would be open to lifting the ban if the 31-year-old pays for the damages from his outburst, makes a "meaningful contribution" to a charity of its choice and undergoes counseling and/or anger management therapy. Clark damaged his locker after missing the cut at this year's Open by one stroke — something he apologized for the following week at the Travelers Championship. "I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows," Clark admitted. "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 the year and things that come up." Just a couple months ago at the PGA Championship, Clark's rage resulted in him throwing his driver and damaging a sponsored sign near the tee box. "I promise to better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time," he said in a statement.U.S. Open Champion Banned From Major Golf Course first appeared on The Spun on Jul 16, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 16, 2025, where it first appeared.

How Wyndham Clark can undo his Oakmont ban after damaging clubhouse
Oakmont Country Club has put Wyndham Clark in timeout after his childish temper tantrum last month. The 2023 U.S. Open champion was looking to reclaim his title in June when he missed the cut at Oakmont. Clark apparently got way too heated afterwards and began kicking at stalls in the 121-year-old locker room, creating quite the scene and damaging the venue's historic locker room. Now, according to The Athletic, the club has officially banned Clark from the grounds — but did give him a chance to make amends: Clark's reinstatement is contingent upon 'a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Board's choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions,' according to Lynch's letter. Clark apologized for the incident at the following week's Traveler's 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," Clark said. "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 FedEx Cup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things." Safe to say the USGA and Oakmont did not, in fact, move on. The two entities worked together on the parameters of Clark's banishment. This isn't just a slap on the wrist, either. Aside from it's status as one of the most prestigious and highly-rated golf clubs in the world, Oakmont is scheduled to host the U.S. Open in 2033, 2042 and 2049. Notably, 2033 is the final year of Clark's 10-year exemption for winning the tournament in 2023. Unless he agrees to Oakmont's conditions, Clark will have to celebrate a decade as a U.S. Open champion from outside the ropes.
