Ping wedges with square grooves banned from March 29
The 20-year-old Ping wedges with square grooves will no longer be allowed on the US PGA Tour, starting March 29 under an agreement reached with the Ping executives.
Ping chairman and chief executive John Solheim said today that Ping will waive its rights to a settlement that had kept the US PGA Tour from banning the deeper, wider grooves that no longer conform under new regulations.
Those wedges were allowed through a settlement in 1990 from when Ping sued the US PGA Tour and the US Golf Association.
Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan and Fred Couples were among players who had used the Ping wedges this year.
