The World Alliance of PGA’s have become the latest group to voice their opposition at the USGA and R&A’s proposed golf rollback plans, labelling them “fundamentally damaging and detrimental in the long run.”
In March, the two governing bodies announced plans for a new Model Local Rule, which would see the bifurcation of the golf ball. Recreational golfers would be unaffected but the rule would see professional golfers use new specially-tested golf balls from 2026 in an aim to curb ever-increasing hitting distances.
