LIV Golf rebels and PGA Tour players have publicly clashed amid the sport's escalating civil war - but they at least appear to be on the same side when it comes to some controversial new proposals.
After the conclusion of a six-year investigation, The R&A and the United States Golf Association have unveiled plans to restrict the game's big hitters. Proposals centre around altering the specifications of golf balls, measures that are expected to reduce tee shots by at least 15 yards.
Unsurprisingly, the findings have been slammed by Bryson DeChambeau, who in 2019 embarked on a specially designed programme to pile on muscle mass and increase his hitting distance. He subsequently piled on 40 pounds, a tactic arguably justified when he won his maiden major title at the 2020 US Open.
