Drivers Tested, PGA Approved

  • Rory McIlroy switched drivers at the 2023 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow after his regular driver failed a USGA test for non-conformance.
  • The PGA of America requested the USGA to conduct random club testing as part of its regular program, similar to other PGA Tour events.
  • Testing showed that McIlroy's driver exceeded the allowable limit for face flexibility, a common issue caused by extensive use over time.
  • McIlroy, ranked second in the world and recent Masters winner, ranked last in accuracy off the tee after finding only 10 fairways through the initial 36 holes.
  • Officials emphasized no concerns about player intent, noted all players comply with club changes without issue, and keep test results confidential to protect players.
