Golf Authorities to Examine Distance‑Limit Options

Leading golf governing bodies and professional tours announced a joint study. The focus is on possible distance‑limit rules to curb extreme driving lengths. Participants will evaluate the impact on course design and competitive balance. The review follows concerns that long drives diminish traditional skill elements. Stakeholders will gather data from tournaments that have experimented with limits. Findings will be presented to the sport’s rule‑making committees. Officials hope the measures could preserve the integrity of the game. The golf community will watch for recommendations later this season.
