Ping chairman John Solheim recently released a statement, saying: “When the USPGA proposed the New Groove Rule more than two years ago, we reminded them of their agreement relative to the Ping Eye 2 irons. At the time, I was vehemently against any new groove rule for a variety of reasons. While I fully expect the PGA Tour to honor this agreement, I'm willing to discuss a workable solution to this matter that would benefit the game and respect the role innovation has played over the long history of golf."
