Both Rory McILroy and Scottie Scheffler have been dragged by an old United States Open champion, who has suggested that PGA professionals be complicit in a new scandal
Continuing his controversial streak, said United States Open Champion Lucas Glover Many professional golfers can be complicit In a trap scandal related to driver tests. It golf The world has been shot down after the drivers used by big names such as Rory mcilroy and Scottie Scheffler exceeded the limits of legal wear.
The driver’s checks are now under intense scrutiny after he was reported to McILroy, 36, he was in charge of changing his pilot in the 2025 PGA championship. The same club has been understood, which helped him achieve the victory of masters this year was declared “ no longer admissible ”, but the details are dirty, as the results of the tests are under the tests.
28 -year -old Scheffler also admitted that his driver did not pass tests just before the major in Quail Hollow, not that he prevented him from winning the tournament. However, the United States Open champion, Glover, expressed doubts about the legitimacy of test protocols, which suggests that there could be important steps in sport control.
“I have been trying to think all morning and all day as to say -without sounding as if it sounds,” Glover said to his Radio Siriusxm program (via road The mirror that) When the co-amfundion, Taylor Zarzour asked why only 30 drivers are only checked weekly. “But most boys do not give them their actual driver.
“They give them their backup in case. No, it’s true. And the test is as it is, why, and again, I know many boys, they keep two drivers in the bag just in case.
Despite Glover’s claims, there is no specific evidence that no PGA Tour Pro has deliberately sent a backup driver to fail to fail around the rules. And it does not move away from the fact that two best classified players in the world were only told that this month it would change their team.
Driver tests are not a new concept in golf, but the rigor of the process is now under scrutiny. McILroy’s difficulties in Quail Hollow’s shirt could be indicative of the fine line between success and failure by changing clubs.
It is common for a club to sink over time, as it repeatedly supports the high speed impacts of the best players in the sport. This can be beneficial as it improves driver’s elasticity beyond the legal limit.
The Taylormade McILroy pilot used at the PGA championship was identical in his brand and model to the discarded club he used to win Augusta. However, his performance seemed very different and Glover believes that the evidence is clear.
“I was told a long time ago that golf clubs are like snowflakes,” he continued. “They can read the same. They may seem the same. They can fall in the same way in the sky. They can be built exactly on the trailer, but they are snowflakes.
“Nothing is identical. To the point where, even the backup copies I travel, I know it’s not so good. If I was so good or better, I would hit it.”
If clubs can really differ so much, it is the test of Scheffler’s skill that a club exchange did not throw it into the game Pennsylvania. Xander Schauffele, who came out with him and McILroy during the first two rounds in Quail Hollow, let the details of the Scheffler club change before saying -in the press: “Look, you don’t even know it because it’s so good.”
Scheffler himself acknowledged that his driver had reduced himself and stated support for a more rigorous test routine. “I would say that if we are going to try the drivers, we must be even more robust in the way they try it.
This is not the first time that Glover has defended golf changes this year after he criticized the green reading method at Aimpoint Back in February. The experienced star called it “rude” for its effect on the slowdown of the game and defended a direct ban on technique.
