Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley says golf has become "one-dimensional."
"Until recent years golf has been a game of imagination, creativity, and variety. The game has become much more one-dimensional."
Great soundbite. It's also directly contradicted by the USGA's Distance Insights Project. Here's what their research actually found.
Today's long hitters are good at everything.
Report R56 measured how closely driving distance was linked to every other skill on Tour. Longer hitters have improved their approach play. They have improved their short game. They have improved their putting.
R56's conclusion: "This can be interpreted as longer hitters becoming better at the non-driving distance parts of the game, while accurate hitters were becoming worse at the non-driving accuracy parts of the game."
Read that again. The USGA concluded long hitters are becoming MORE well-rounded. The straight hitters are becoming LESS well-rounded. If anyone is getting more "one-dimensional," it's the shorter hitting accurate players, not the bombers.
Report R14 (Mark Broadie) broke down what separates the top 40 players from the field: approach shots 36%, driving 32%, short game 17%, putting 14%. The single biggest contributor to elite scoring is still approach play. Non-driving skills account for 68% of the scoring advantage.
R56 analyzed every tee shot on every par 4 and par 5 on the PGA TOUR over 15 seasons using Shotlink data. Driving distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole. Where your ball ends up (fairway, rough, bunker) explains 9% of scoring variance on a hole. Where you hit it matters three times more than how far you hit it.
Ridley's claim "feels" right, but feelings aren't data. The USGA's research found that today's long hitters are more well-rounded than ever, approach play still matters more than driving, and distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole while where the ball ends up explains 9% of the scoring variance.
The game hasn't become one-dimensional.
The best players have added dimensions.

“Until recent years golf has been a game of imagination, creativity, and variety. The game has become much more one dimensional.” Fred Ridley spoke about Augusta Nationals full support of the golf ball rollback during his press conference introduction.
English

Fred Ridley gave perhaps his most strong take yet on supporting golf ball rollback.
"As for professional golf, we hold firm in our belief that the greats of the game are defined not merely by how far they hit the ball, but their extraordinary skill in all aspects of the game. Their ability to shape shots, to take on risk, and to execute under pressure is at the heart of championship golf and is best displayed through a full spectrum of shot-making opportunities.
"Regulation of the golf ball is not an attempt to turn back time or stifle progress. It is an effort to preserve the essence of what makes golf the great game that it is."

NC State AD Boo Corrigan on Will Wade 👀
"Tuesday night, we talked about everything in the program... I asked him what we needed to be competitive. From there, as far as the resignation, it was an email that we received from his agent."
"I'd commiserate with (fans), in terms of feeling lied to. And I'd let them know that I'm as surprised as they are by what's gone on."
