The golf world has erupted following the ruling proposed jointly by the USGA and the R&A. Calling for a ball rollback through re-shaping the golf ball, fans have criticized the move and claimed it to be redundant in the game’s progress. Several players have made their feelings known about the matter, including Keegan Bradley, who compared the new rules with a humorous twist.

The change has been backed jointly by the USGA and the R&A, with both sides proposing a re-designed ball that will alter certain mechanics. It involves a change in the speed of the ball, which results in a loss of driving distance by 20 yards or more.

Furthermore, Bradley even had a humorous take on the ruling. The 2011 PGA Championship winner compared playing with the re-shaped golf ball to playing with NFL legend Tom Brady, but with a twist.
“I can’t go play football with Tom Brady with pads on … I’ll get killed,” he amusingly said.
