Tim Clark: "We’re not going to just roll over and accept this.”

Jim McCabe talks to anchorer Tim Clark and he's issued fighting words in response to the announced anchoring ban.

And remember, he did win a Players, which has a first place prize of $8.9 million I think. So he can afford the attorney.

“If there really was a ‘comment period,’ we all know it was all smoke and mirrors," said Clark, standing on the putting green at Colonial Country Club, site of this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational. "Their minds were made up.”

Clark confirmed news that probably won’t come as a surprise to officials at the PGA Tour, U.S. Golf Association and R&A.

“We do have legal counsel,” he said. “We’re going to explore our options. We’re not going to just roll over and accept this.”
