Overview

• Oakmont Country Club has upheld its ban on Wyndham Clark after his locker room outburst at the 2025 U.S. Open, stipulating that reinstatement requires full payment for damages, a board-selected charity donation and completion of counseling or anger management
• Clark has publicly expressed deep remorse for damaging a century-old locker, apologizing for his actions and emphasizing his desire to resolve the matter privately while meeting the club’s conditions
• The USGA formally supported Oakmont’s disciplinary decision and the public release of the club’s letter, overriding Clark’s preference to keep the process confidential
• NBC lead analyst Kevin Kisner faulted the USGA for releasing photos of the damaged lockers, arguing that locker rooms should remain private sanctuaries and questioning the handling of the leak
• Despite tying for fourth at the 153rd Open Championship, Clark’s ten-year exemption at Oakmont puts his participation in the 2033 U.S. Open in doubt until he fulfills the reinstatement requirements
