Michael Kim Cheers PGA Tour’s Preferred Lies Switch to Scorecard Length

PGA Tour tightened preferred lies: lift, clean and place now allows only a scorecard-length move, not a full club. The tour says it keeps balls closer to original spots and stays for extreme mud or poor fairways, marked by a green sticker. Kim wrote, “it’s only scorecard relief,” noting club-length drops can “change the angle of a chip shot.”
