Rory McIlroy has publically come out in favour of the reported plans to rollback the golf ball for recreational and professional golfers, claiming it will put golf “back on a path of sustainability” and “help bring back certain skills in the pro game.”
In March, earlier this year, the two governing bodies - the R&A and USGA - proposed the introduction of a Model Local Rule, seeking to curb ever-increasing modern driving distances in the professional game by requiring tournaments to use balls which would travel around 15 yards less.
