2025 PGA Championship: Wyndham Clark apologizes for launching driver into sign during final round
Wyndham Clark is lucky he didn't hurt someone at Quail Hollow Club on Sunday afternoon. Clark, after hitting a bad shot off the tee at No. 16 during the final round of the PGA Championship, immediately turned and launched his driver behind him with both hands out of frustration. The club went slamming into the sponsor wall behind the tee box at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina. The club head actually came off the shaft, too, and broke through the wall. Still livid, Clark then picked up the shaft and tossed it off to the side before walking down the fairway. He just left the broken club behind and finished his round without it. — Golf Clips (@clips_golf) May 18, 2025 Thankfully, nobody was standing directly behind Clark when he erupted. Clark posted an apology message on social media Monday: "I would like to sincerely apologize for my behavior on Hole 16. As professionals, we are expected to remain professional even when frustrated and I unfortunately let my emotions get the best of me. My actions were uncalled for and completely inappropriate, making it clear that I have things I need to work on. I hold myself to a high standard, trying to always play for something bigger than myself, and yesterday I fell short of those standards. For that I am truly sorry. I promise to be better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time." — Wyndham Clark (@Wyndham_Clark) May 19, 2025 It's easy to understand why Clark was upset on Sunday. He opened his final round at the major championship with four bogeys in his first five holes, and he finished in a tie for 50th at 4-over on the week. It was actually his best finish at a PGA Championship in his career. Clark has largely struggled since winning the U.S. Open in 2023, too. He missed the cut in three of the four majors last season, and he finished T46 at the Masters last month. He has just a single top-10 finish on Tour this season. While Clark is heading home from North Carolina, clearly frustrated with how he played, he'll have to hunt down a new driver before he can start fixing his game and regroup in time for the U.S. Open next month at Oakmont.

Watch: Sahith Theegala hurls a misbehaving club into a different time zone
What's going on at the Valspar Championship? One day after Patton Kizzire booted a putter halfway to the moon, Sahith Theegala has decided to take out his frustrations on the tee box. Behold what happens when you send Theegala's ball in the wrong direction: — Golf Clips (@clips_golf) March 21, 2025 Standing on the par-3 4th hole, Theegala flared a shot out to the right — not terribly so, but bad enough that he decided to give his club a sling. He tomahawked the offending stick off the tee box, and then proceeded to ... par the hole, holing a 13-foot putt. This was likely the buildup a long series of frustrations for Theegala, who had bogeyed three of the past six holes, including the third right before this tee shot. (He started play on the 10th hole on Friday.) Theegala had been two strokes off the lead after the first round, but will go into the weekend at least four strokes back after carding a 1-over round on the day. Theegala's form on the club throw was impeccable: strong pullback, effective first step, quick wrist snaps, smooth follow-through. You can see the club spiraling off into the distance there in the video above. Really, the only problem with his entire toss is that he violated one of golf's prime tenets. "If you are going to throw a club," the temperamental legend Tommy Bolt once said, "it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up." Solid advice. Nothing worse than throwing a club and then having to go do the Walk of Shame — or, worse, send your innocent caddie to do it — in order to get the club back. Go for the fairway next time, Sahith. It's easier than putting your tee shot there.
