WASHINGTON, July 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Oakmont Country Club has banned 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark from the property after the American caused damage in the locker room at last month's US Open there.

A letter from club president John Lynch to club members this week that revealed the punishment was obtained by Golf Digest, ESPN and Golf Channel.

Clark damaged his locker after missing the cut at last month's US Open in the Pittsburgh suburbs, later apologizing for the incident, the results of which were shown in photos on social media.

"Following multiple discussions with the USGA (US Golf Association) and the OCC (Oakmont Country Club) Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property," Lynch wrote.

"This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the board. Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling a number of specific conditions."

Those requirements include a full repayment for damages, a "meaningful contribution" to a charity of the board's choice and completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions.

Clark apologized a few days later at the PGA Travelers Championship and said he made a mistake in a moment of rage, calling the incident a wake-up call.

At the PGA Championship in May, the 31-year-old damaged a tee sign when he tossed a club.

Clark, 28th in world rankings, has managed only one top-10 result in 19 starts this year, a share of fifth place at April's Houston Open.

Oakmont is set to host the US Open again in 2033.
