The proposed changes by the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf is expected to reduce an elite golfer's tee shot by roughly 15 yards on average.
Golf Hall of Famer Greg Norman shares his thoughts on being told not to attend a PGA Tour event that he founded, on ‘Fox Business Tonight.’
"For elite-level play, I really like it. I really do," McIlroy, a four-time major winner and one of golf's longest hitters, said in an interview with the "No Laying Up" podcast. "I know that’s a really unpopular opinion amongst my peers, but I think it’s going to help identify who the best players are a bit easier."
"We don't want to get in the way of athleticism," USGA CEO Mike Whan told FOX Business. "We don't want long hitters not to build or pursue length as an advantage. [It’s] the heart of the game. We're trying not to interrupt that." Whan also said that the group notified manufacturers of the direction and timing of the potential change. Unlike McIlroy, however, other players on the PGA Tour were not pleased by the USGA and R&A's announcement. While at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida, Justin Thomas slammed the proposal, saying it is bad for the game.
