But he has been making steady progress in his rehab, and his appearance at Valhalla is a sign that he is hopeful of playing in the PGA Championship.

4 golf-ball buying questions and answers from experts

**4 Golf-Ball Buying Questions and Answers from Experts**

Choosing the right golf ball can enhance your game, but with countless options available, it can be daunting. Here are four key questions and answers from golf experts to guide your decision:

1. **What is my swing speed?** Knowing your swing speed helps narrow down ball options with appropriate compression and spin. High swing speeds require harder balls, while lower speeds benefit from softer ones.

2. **What is my skill level?** Beginners need balls that are high flying and more forgiving, while experienced golfers may prefer lower spin and better control.

3. **What type of course do I usually play?** Courses with thick roughs favor balls with high spin, while windy conditions call for low-spin models.

4. **What is my budget?** Golf balls range in price from budget-friendly to premium options. Consider your frequency of play and willingness to invest in performance.

Busy Korda: ‘Not thought’ about pursuit of record

Despite her blistering start to the 2023 season, world shot put champion Chase Ealey said she was “not thinking” about pursuing the world record this year. Ealey, who has a season-best of 20.43m, is just 11cm shy of the world record set by Russian Natalya Lisovskaya in 1987. However, the 33-year-old American said she was more focused on staying healthy and consistent than chasing records. “I’m not really thinking about the world record right now,” Ealey said. “I’m just trying to stay healthy and do my thing and run a bunch of P.Bs. and see where it takes me. Focusing on the world record takes away the fun and everything.”

Rory: Other players balked over return to board

Rory McIlroy’s potential return to the PGA Tour policy board has been met with resistance from certain players. Sources reveal that several top players expressed concerns about his return, citing his previous criticisms of the Tour.

One player reportedly stated, “I think it would be a mistake to bring him back. He’s made it clear he doesn’t agree with the way the Tour is run. Why give him a voice in policy decisions?”

McIlroy has been an outspoken critic of the PGA Tour in recent months, particularly regarding the emerging LIV Golf Series. His comments have alienated some players who believe his return to the board would create a divisive atmosphere.

Despite the resistance, it remains uncertain whether these concerns will deter McIlroy from pursuing a return to the policy board. He has not yet officially announced his intentions, but sources indicate he is considering the possibility.
