Does golf need to rein in the big hitters?
Category: Sports & Recreation
Duration: 00:38:58

Description: With titanium drivers and high-tech modern balls, Bryson DeChambeau and golf's other big hitters are making older courses like St Andrews look like pitch and putts. So, does the combination of power and technology favoured by many modern players threaten the very ethos of golf or is this just the natural evolution of the sport? Sarah Mulkerrins and Nesta McGregor are joined by BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter and Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols to discuss the issue. We also hear from Tiger Woods, former Europe Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher and Martin Slumbers, the Chief Executive of the R&A, who along with the USGA in America are considering changes to clubs and balls.
