Wyndham Clark is learning the hard way that one must always keep a level head and not damage other people’s property.

Oakmont Country Club confirmed numerous reports this week that Clark has been banned from the golf course property.

Clark’s frustration about missing the cut in the 2025 U.S. Open reportedly spilled into the locker room. Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, was among many who couldn’t figure out Oakmont, as he shot back-to-back 74s to finish 8-over to miss the cut.

But while disappointment was widespread, no one allegedly took their frustration out on Oakmont’s locker room—except Wyndham Clark.

Clark vented his anger at lockers at the prestigious club. One alleged photo of the damage, showing two bottom portions of lockers completely caved in, made its way around social media.

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


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.

Luckily for Clark, the letter does leave open the possibility of his ban being 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.

What Wyndham Clark Had To Say About The Locker Damage

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

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

“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.”

On the golf course, 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.
