Earlier, legendary golf equipment manufacturer, Titleist, released a statement denouncing the governing bodies. Now, one of the brand’s most notable endorsed athletes, Justin Thomas, has also shared his dismay.
While the United States Golf Association (USGA) and Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) may have thought of modernizing the sport of golf with its latest proposal, the golf world isn’t happy with the new proposition.
The USGA and R&A's latest announcement.
This past week, the USGA and R&A, have announced a reduction in the size of the golf ball to provide golfers with lesser yardage. The massive announcement was criticized by the golf world, with Acushnet Holding Company leading the list of denouncers. Titleist, a subsidiary of Acushnet Holdings, has been a sponsor for two-time PGA Championship winner, Justin Thomas.
Justin Thomas voices his anger at the USGA and R&A.
After a disappointing performance at the Players Championship,
Thomas looks to find his top-notch form at the Valspar Championship in Florida. However, after the practice sessions at the Copperhead Course, JT answered some of the questions at the press conference.
Though JT had sported the Titleist cap many times in the past, many indicated that it was his style of showing his support for the legendary manufacturer.
Justin then voiced his anger with USGA’s latest proposal.
He then disclosed how the American governing body has been selfish for many years.
“I think the USGA over the years has — in my eyes, it’s harsh, but made some pretty selfish decisions”, added Justin Thomas. While the golf world is divided over the new proposal, the two-time Major winner has made his intentions clear.
JT had more to add.
According to the sporting brand, the new policy will lead to bifurcation among professionals and recreational players. Moreover, since it’s only planned for certain designated events, golfers will struggle to adapt to changes from one event to another.
