Overview
- On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Clark told the Pardon My Take podcast that his December 2016 tweet reading “I hate Baker Mayfield” was prompted by an ex-girlfriend cheating on him with Baker Mayfield.
- Clark said he no longer holds animosity toward Mayfield, described himself as a Baker fan, and said he hopes they can meet and play golf to “bury the hatchet.”
- Barstool Sports posted a clip of the podcast on X/Twitter and the comments were picked up by multiple outlets the same day, quickly circulating across social media.
- The explanation is Clark’s own account on the podcast and has not been independently confirmed by Mayfield or the woman Clark named, and no public responses from those parties were reported.
- Reporters noted the disclosure comes after Clark’s recent second U.S. Open win and past 2025 on-course conduct issues, a context that could shape how fans and sponsors read this personal revelation.
