The USGA backtracked Tuesday on its prior statement that Justin Thomas had canceled every meeting about the new Rules of Golf.
In a tweet from the USGA communications department, the organization said Thomas did not in fact “avoid a discussion with the USGA nor cancel any meetings.”
“We value his and all players’ opinions and are committed to a productive dialogue as the golf world adjusts to the modernized rules,” the USGA said.
That contradicts what the USGA had said Saturday, when it singled out Thomas in a tweet, saying: “We need to talk. You’ve cancelled every meeting we’ve planned with you, but we are reaching out again.
