Collin Morikawa Refutes PGA Tour Pro's Claim of Players Cheating Driver Test
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Collin Morikawa has gotten into the habit of contradicting Lucas Glover, even without intending to do so. A few months ago, the two had a somewhat contentious exchange about the AimPoint technique, and now, they have opposing views once again, this time about alleged cheating during driver testing. Glover recently claimed that some players hide their real competition drivers when they're selected for testing. From the Muirfield Village Golf Club, home of this week's Memorial Tournament, Morikawa expressed himself to be completely in disagreement: "I don't think people do that. I think people joke about it, but I don't think people do it. And if they do, then, I mean, sure. Is it going to help? I don't think it's going to help," he said. "When these fail, we're on such fine margins that they give us this like green, yellow, red. Like we want our drivers to be in yellow, it's passing, but it's like, you want it to be fast, you don't want it to be slow." "But if it's close to failing or if it's failing and it's close to cracking, I mean, what are you gaining? You're not gaining anything. Guys aren't going to hit it 25 yards further. I don't think it's really changing much. It's just you got to have a line somewhere and that's where they have drawn the line." Collin Morikawa of the United States hits a tee shot on the 12th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 16, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Collin Morikawa of the United States hits a tee shot on the 12th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 16, 2025 in Charlotte, North used his SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show to drop the shocking bombshell that not all players are following the rules regarding driver testing: "Most guys don't give them their real driver anyway," he said. "They hand over their backup so it won't fail testing. It's their way of protecting the driver they actually use." The issue came to the forefront two weeks ago during the PGA Championship, when Rory McIlroy's driver was famously declared non-conforming. Despite being one of the pre-tournament favorites, the Northern Irishman performed poorly in the event, which many attribute to his need to play with a different driver than usual. However, it's worth noting that Scottie Scheffler also had to use a backup driver because his competition one was declared non-conforming as well. Scheffler went on to win the event. Last February, amid a debate surrounding pace of play, Lucas Glover proposed a series of measures that included banning the AimPoint technique for reading greens. At the time, he said it's a technique that "takes forever" and has no real effect on improving putting. Morikawa, one of the top players who use AimPoint, responded to these comments by saying that long putters should also be banned. This controversial type of club is used by many players, including Glover. More Golf: Charlie Woods Goes Nuclear, Blows Past Miles Russell, Field for 1st Win

Lucas Glover says players can skirt driver test but USGA chief says that isn't the case
Published May 29, 2025 • 2 minute read Lucas Glover hits off the ninth tee during the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge golf tournament at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, Thursday, May 22, 2025. (AP Photo/LM Otero) DUBLIN, Ohio — Former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover says players have found a way to beat the system by handing the USGA a backup driver if they get picked for random testing on the thinness of the clubface.

'We keep serial numbers of the driver that were given us, and 90% of the drivers that were given us in those practice facilities when we test are played on the first tee,' Whan said Tuesday ahead of the U.S. Women's Open in Wisconsin. 'And we expect 10% of players to be making changes, anyway. 'I don't think that's a real concern for us.' Glover got some attention on his SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show when he said the test is not stringent enough because only about 30 drivers are randomly selected for testing. And he mentioned another loophole. 'I've been trying to think all morning and all day how to say this without sounding like it's going to sound, but most guys don't give them their real driver, anyway,' Glover said when asked why the USGA didn't just test drivers of every player. 'They give them their backup just in case. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I know a lot of guys, they keep two drivers in their bag just in case,' he said. ''Hey, oh, yeah, it's this one. It's this one right here. Yeah, do this, test this one.'' The driver testing has been going on for years because after hundreds of swings, the face gets too thin for USGA standards without the players or manufacturers being aware. Rory McIlroy's driver failed the test at the PGA Championship and he had to use a backup. Scottie Scheffler said his driver also was tested and didn't pass, though he knew it was getting close. He went on to win the PGA Championship. Whan said test results are green (pass), yellow (getting close) and red (fail). They are kept confidential to prevent a routine matter from getting too much attention, as was the case at Quail Hollow. 'If they got a yellow, they start preparing for a backup driver or switch,' Whan said. 'It seemed like a big week to everybody else. But for us, it was a pretty standard week.'
