Wyndham Clark’s ‘weird’ year assessed with emphatic Ryder Cup prediction made

Wyndham Clark endured a challenging PGA Tour season in 2025 to say the least.

Clark has been embroiled in plenty of controversy on the PGA Tour throughout 2025, and his golf has been as poor as his behaviour on and off the course at times.

Back in May, Clark hurled his club into a T-Mobile advertising board at the PGA Championship and was forced to apologise for his outburst of anger after the event.

Then just one month after his poor behaviour at Quail Hollow, the 31-year-old stooped even lower.

Clark damaged the Oakmont lockers during the US Open, and he has since been banned from playing at the historic Pennsylvania layout again.

He has generally looked very angry on the golf course throughout the entire season.

That anger has been borne from frustrations with his golf game. Now he has plenty of time off to work on his swing and go again in 2026.

Wyndham Clark’s year assessed with Ryder Cup prediction made

Clark failed to finish inside the top 50 of the FedEx Cup points list after the FedEx St. Jude Championship and as a result, he will miss out on the final two playoff events.

On the Smylie Show, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discussed Clark’s ‘weird’ 2025 season on the PGA Tour.

Hulme began by making a big Ryder Cup claim about the 2023 US Open champion.

He said: “Just quickly on Wyndham. It was a weird year for Wyndham, it looked like he had it turned around a little bit, but this was just a tough sort of conclusion to the year for him. You can pretty much say now he will not be on that Ryder Cup team.“

Then Kaufman chipped in with his take on Clark’s failure to make it to the BMW Championship at Caves Valley.

He explained: “Wyndham, you know, caught a little heat obviously with all the stuff that happened earlier this year and then his game caught fire late in the year.

“This just isn’t necessarily the best golf course for him, he’s played well here before, but, you know, if he would have made it to next week, I would have felt good about his chances to make it to East Lake, but he came up just short.“

Where it went wrong for Wyndham Clark on the PGA Tour in 2025

The main concern for Clark right now will be the fact that he quite simply didn’t do anything well during the season.

His best finish in 2025 was a T-4 at The Open Championship and his only other top-10 was a T-5 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open back in March.

Here are his stats from the current season:

Judging by those numbers, Clark was actually lucky to make it to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and it’s no surprise that he won’t be at the BMW Championship or the Tour Championship this month.

Throughout the 2025 season, Clark drove the ball averagely at best, hit his irons really poorly and his putting was incredibly streaky.

The Clark we saw on the PGA Tour in 2025 was a mere shadow of the man who won the US Open in 2023.

And the challenge for him now will be to rediscover his best form during the off-season before teeing it up again in 2026.
