The PGA of America firmly opposes the upcoming golf ball rollback proposed by R&A and USGA, which requires professionals to switch to a modified ball by 2028 and amateurs by 2030. Executive Derek Sprague emphasized the PGA's commitment to collaboration with governing bodies to reassess the research supporting such changes. The rollback aims to address concerns over distance issues affecting traditional courses; however, the PGA Tour and equipment manufacturers express strong dissent. The PGA also advocates for further exploration of equipment modifications rather than altering the golf ball itself, highlighting a focus on the well-being of the 28 million American golfers.
