On July 17th, 2025, we break down the bombshell report of Wyndham Clark's ban from Oakmont, Rory McIlroy's determined reaction to his T-2 Open finish, and Phil Mickelson's bold proposal for Liv Golf's future.
OAKMONT LOCKER ROOM LOCKOUT
- The lead story is the bombshell report of Wyndham Clark being banned from Oakmont Country Club after allegedly damaging two lockers following his missed U.S. Open cut. The club has laid out strict conditions for his potential return.
- His simple apology: "I'm very sorry for what happened."
- The ban reportedly requires him to pay for damages, make a charitable donation, and undergo counseling, highlighting the severity of the incident at the prestigious club.
RORY'S QUEST FOR SIX CONTINUES
- Despite a heartbreaking T-2 finish at The Open, Rory McIlroy's reaction was one of mature determination, framing his performance not as a failure but as another step in his ongoing journey to capture a sixth major title.
- "I don't want that to be my last great moment in the game... I feel like I'm a better player now than I ever have been."
- This isn't a story of defeat, but of a veteran superstar's resilience and unwavering belief in his ability to win again on the biggest stage.
PHIL'S LIV BLUEPRINT & THE OWGR DEBATE
- Phil Mickelson stirred the pot with a "hypothetical" social media post outlining a massive 35-event, 120-player future for Liv Golf, directly challenging the PGA Tour's current structure and reigniting the debate over professional golf's future.
- Scottie Scheffler weighed in on the larger issue, stressing the need to "get the best players in the world together more often."
- Phil's post is a strategic chess move, using social media to publicly pressure the establishment and shape the narrative around the ongoing tour negotiations.
