PGA Tour and LIV Golf appear to agree on this one topic

Up until this point, you would be hard-pressed to find a topic that golfers on the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf circuit agree on. But that likely changed this week as players from both camps spoke out against a newly proposed golf ball rollback that would impact players in both leagues.

If you missed the news and need a quick summary: The United States Golf Association and the R&A are proposing a new rule that would change how golf balls are tested for the pros and ultimately shorten their longest drives. Per ESPN's report on the story, this would cut hitting distances by about 15 yards "on average for the longest hitters with the highest clubhead speed." The reasoning behind the proposed rule, as Golf Digest summarized, is that golf equipment has evolved to a point that the pros are hitting the ball much farther on the same ol' courses and changing the golf balls will develop the game.

Golfers from both the PGA and LIV aren't buying it.

LIV Golfer Bryson DeChambeau is unsurprisingly against it, given he's the sport's figurehead for hitting the ball long distances.

“I think it’s the most unimaginative, uninspiring, game-cutting thing you could do. Everybody wants to see people hit it farther," DeChambeau told LIV Golf's website.

DeChambeau has an unlikely ally in the fight against the rollback: PGA pro and world No. 10 Justin Thomas.

"My reaction was disappointed and also not surprised, to be honest. I think the USGA over the years has—in my eyes, it's harsh, but made some pretty selfish decisions," the 2022 Presidents Cup winner said. "They definitely, in my mind, have done a lot of things that aren't for the betterment of the game, although they claim it."
