The decision came after he destroyed a locker room
Clark, 31, won the US Open at Oakmont in 2023 but did not enjoy the same success at the course this year.
The golf star left empty-handed as he carded two four-over rounds of 76 during the tournament.
This meant that he did not make the cut for the weekend with his +8 score.
The poor effort also saw him fail to win any prize money as he finished just one shot outside of the cut line.
He appeared frustrated as he had bogeyed his final hole and did not react well when back in the locker room.
It was initially reported that he lashed out at the locker room once he got behind closed doors.
Pictures of the room emerged with panels on two doors smashed out of place.
Oakmont have now banned the American for his behaviour as reported by ESPN.
The report claims that the decision came after discussions with the US Golf Association (USGA) and the club’s board.
Oakmont Country Club (OCC) president John Lynch issued a letter revealing that Clark can lift his ban if he performs several actions.
This includes paying for the damage that he caused and making a “meaningful contribution” to a charity.
It has also urged the golfer to go to anger management therapy.
Lynch wrote: “Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behaviour.
“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.”
Ahead of the Open in Northern Ireland, Clark has dropped to 28th in the PGA Tour world rankings.
He has only managed one top 10 finish in his 19 appearances on tour this season.
