"We believe that now is the time to examine this topic through a very wide and long lens, knowing it is critical to the future of the game. We look forward to delving deeply into this topic and learning more, led by doing right by golf, first and foremost."
In statements from 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus and veteran club professional Bob Ford, Davis was seen hinting that a golf ball rollback is a priority or at least in the offing.
Nicklaus said, in a discussion with David earlier this year over distance-related concerns, "Mike said, ‘We’re getting there. I need your help when we get there.’ "

R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers said: "Distance in golf is a complex issue which is widely debated at all levels of the sport. It is important that we collate all of the relevant data and hear the many different perspectives on this issue that exist in the international community. We intend to conduct this process openly, comprehensively and promptly and will work with all of the key stakeholders to ensure we have a fully rounded view of distance and its implications."

"I think just in terms of Step 1, this is not about a ball rollback," said Jerris.
"We are looking at distance in a very holistic way. The golf ball is not the focus of this project. I think we see this research resulting in multiple insights, multiple recommendations and multiple solutions. We need to broaden the discussion, get a variety of perspectives and re-set the conversation about distance."
