Overview
- Wyndham Clark told the Barstool Sports podcast Pardon My Take on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, that his 2016 tweet reading “I hate Baker Mayfield” stemmed from an alleged college-era affair in which his then‑girlfriend cheated on him with Mayfield.
- Clark did not name the woman involved and multiple outlets noted there is no independent verification of his account at the time of reporting.
- The revelation came during Clark’s media tour after winning his second U.S. Open and he said he no longer holds a grudge, calling himself “actually a Baker fan now” and expressing hope they could be friendly and play golf together.
- Baker Mayfield and his camp had not issued a public response as of the latest reports, and the claim has been widely amplified by sports and celebrity outlets without comment from the unnamed third party.
- Beyond the immediate headlines, the episode highlights how a single social‑media post can resurface during high‑profile moments, raise questions about privacy for people not named on the record, and prompt further media scrutiny that could lead to a response or verification down the line.
