Overview

  • At the Travelers Championship on June 19, Clark apologized for damaging Oakmont lockers after missing the U.S. Open cut.
  • Photos shared by golf podcaster Todd 'Tron Carter' Schuster showed seriously damaged locker doors and led Oakmont officials to confirm Clark’s involvement.
  • Earlier at the PGA Championship in May, Clark threw his driver in frustration and damaged sponsor signage at the 16th tee.
  • Golf figures Brendan Porath and Brandel Chamblee have deemed the apology insufficient and called for disciplinary measures including fines or suspension.
  • He shot a 6-under 64 in his Travelers Championship opener while seeking to bolster his Ryder Cup and FedEx Cup standings.
