"PGA Tour faces course and betting challenges in 2023 season"

Rory McIlroy has criticized TPC River Highlands, calling it "obsolete" and stating that technology has passed the course by. He suggested that growing the rough up and making the fairways tight is not the blueprint for a good golf course. McIlroy believes that the blueprint for a good golf course is something like LACC, where wide targets are provided, but if you miss, it's penal. The USGA and R&A have proposed a local model rule that would limit how far the golf ball travels, which McIlroy supports.
