"Who actually runs golf?"
/John Huggan on the possibility that the PGA Tour won't adopt the groove rule change:
When it comes to the rules, the book says it is the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the United States Golf Association. But you have to wonder sometimes.
Take the recent news that the PGA Tour, urged on by equipment manufacturers, is unlikely to adopt the new regulations for grooves on wedges come 1 January. The likes of Titleist, TaylorMade and Callaway are claiming they can't make clubs and balls the leading players will be happy with in time to meet the deadline. Aye right.
Verdict: Meet golf's real supremo, Wally Uihlein, chairman and CEO of Titleist.
