Wyndham Clark was really sorry, like super sorry, for losing his cool and chucking his driver after a terrible tee shot during the PGA Championship. It was like, May 19, 2025, around 04:13 PM, when Clark, who was struggling at 3 over for the tournament, decided to let his frustrations out in the worst possible way. He had just come off a bogey and then proceeded to hit his tee shot way off to the right on No. 16. The ball hadn’t even landed yet when Clark went ahead and flung his driver backward, breaking it into pieces after hitting a sign near a volunteer holding a flag. Talk about a major meltdown, right?
In his apology on X, Clark admitted that he messed up big time. He acknowledged that as a professional golfer, he should’ve kept his cool, even when things weren’t going his way. But hey, we’re all human, right? Sometimes emotions get the best of us, and that’s exactly what happened to Clark. He promised to do better in the future, to handle his frustrations more appropriately on the course. I mean, who hasn’t had a moment where they wanted to throw their golf club in frustration? Not that it’s an excuse, but let’s cut the guy some slack. We all make mistakes, and Clark is no exception.
Despite his outburst, Clark still managed to finish in a tie for 50th at 4 over, a whopping 15 strokes behind the winner, Scottie Scheffler. It was definitely not his best performance, with four consecutive bogeys on the front nine sealing his fate. But hey, everyone has off days, right? Hopefully, Clark can learn from this experience and come back stronger in the next tournament. After all, golf is a game of patience and resilience, two things that Clark will need to work on moving forward. So let’s give the guy a break and see what he can do in the next round.
