I was pilot in command of a tail wheel airplane. The purpose of the flight was to maintain tail wheel proficiency. I was seated in the forward pilot station with a passenger seated in the aft pilot station. We departed to proceed to ZZZ with the intention of performing upper airwork maneuvers enroute to a landing at ZZZ to exchange pilot stations. Winds at takeoff were reported SW at 6 knots.On our arrival at ZZZ the automated weather was reporting winds as SW 8G16. The main Runway XX/XY [at] ZZZ is closed for resurfacing and the taxiway 'A' is marked as the temporary runway. The midfield windsock indicated the winds were generally SW 8G16 with some intermittent change to W and continuing intermittent gusts. On final approach to Runway XX the apparent winds were significantly more westerly. The aircraft touched down on the right main gear first. I used forward elevator to keep the horizontal stabilizer and rudder in an airflow that kept them aerodynamically effective. As the left main gear touched down I applied additional right aileron to arrest sideway drift and left pedal to maintain runway longitudinal alignment.  As the tail wheel was about to touchdown the rudder became ineffective for maintaining runway alignment I applied left braking action but was unable to maintain runway heading and the nose of the aircraft yawed right and the aircraft exited the runway. As the aircraft weathervaned further nose right it slid sideways a short distance and the left wing tip contacted the ground. The aircraft was partially on the runway. Both tires were inflated and there was no apparent damage to the left wing. I elected to apply power and maneuver the aircraft clear of the runway and taxi into the ramp area of ZZZ to secure and inspect the aircraft.
Flight Instructor reported a ground loop on landing in gusty wind conditions.
