Rory McIlroy: Leave amateur golfers alone with golf ball rollback

Didn't come up today about the rollback of the golf ball, but I'm just curious. It sounds like there's some more talk going on again. Are you encouraged by that or do you feel like we're wasting another few years? Yeah, I'd say, you know, maybe like a year or two ago, I was getting a little impatient and I was just like, you know, please somebody just do something. But I think that was to look at it a little bit too simplistically and be like, surely we can just do something about the golf ball. Everyone will go back 10 or 15 yards. But I think from the research that the tour has done and, you know, again, like Cameron Young is and I think Gary Woodland played the golf ball last week, this Titleist, whatever, the Pro B1 double dot, whatever. And that would be a conforming golf ball if it were the 2028 or 2030 rules. So I just think these, you know, the manufacturers are so good that, you know, the governing bodies can put rules in place, but they're going to figure out a way to get around them. But I think there just needs to be more thought being put into it. And I think what is a good thing is it seems like the governing bodies and the manufacturers and the PGA tour are being a little bit more collaborative in terms of what they can do. So, yes, it may take a couple extra years to figure out what the need is. But I think everyone agrees that equipment needs to be regulated. It needs to be regulated. It can't just keep carrying on at the rate it's going. Not at the elite level, like leave amateurs alone, bifurcate. I'm all for bifurcation. But I think at this level to again, to keep some of these golf courses relevant that we want to go to and we're talking about, I think equipment, whether that's a ball, whether that's a club, whatever that means, I think it all, you know, it has to be regulated to a to a higher degree than it is at the minute.
