‘It’s not in good shape’: Major champ criticizes course at Hero World Challenge

Wyndham Clark was brutally honest about the course conditions at the 2025 Hero World Challenge on Thursday.

Since his win at the 2023 U.S. Open, PGA Tour pro Wyndham Clark has spent significantly more time in the public eye — and has made headlines both on and off the course.

He’s no stranger to controversy, offering candid comments that have landed him in the news. It’s been more than comments, too: he received plenty of blowback after smashing Oakmont lockers in anger at this year’s U.S. Open.

But that hasn’t silenced Clark. On Thursday, he waded into controversy again with some unvarnished feedback for Albany GC, the Hero World Challenge host course, after tying for the first-round lead.

NASSAU, The Bahamas – A smiling Wyndham Clark was a rare sight for much of 2025. Little went right for the former U.S. Open champion as his ball-striking deteriorated and his mood worsened. Making drastic adjustments midseason proved difficult, and nothing Clark tried worked.

So, as Clark walked to the media area Thursday afternoon after his first round at the Hero World Challenge, the slight grin that he couldn’t seem to wipe off was notable. Finally, there was something to smile about – for now, and potentially for 2026.
