The 2023 US Open Champion has been suspended from Oakmont following an incident at the 2025 US Open
Following his missed cut at the 2025 US Open, Wyndham Clark took his frustration out on the Oakmont locker room. As a consequence of his actions, the 2023 US Open champion has been suspended from the major venue.

The 31-year-old apologized for his actions the next week at the Travelers Championship, but his apology wasn’t enough to prevent Oakmont from taking action. In a letter sent by Oakmont president John Lynch to members, obtained by Golf Digest, it confirms that Clark is no longer permitted to access the prestigious golf course.
“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.
“Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling 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.
“Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
This news may not have come at the best time for Clark, who’s preparing for The Open at Royal Portrush, where he’ll be hoping to beat his best finish of T33.
The US Open is set to return to Oakmont in 2033. The 2023 US Open winner will have to turn a page if he hopes to return to the venue.
Speaking at the Genesis Scottish Open, Clark said, “I live a great life and I’m not that far off from playing good golf, so I feel like I’ve turned a page and we’re now maybe on the right track of playing some good golf.”
