The PGA Tour will adopt a local rule officially restricting the usage of green and yardage books beginning in early 2022, according to a report from reporter Brian Wacker Monday night.

According to the report, which appears to include a screenshot from a memo shared with PGA Tour players and staff, green and yardage books in their present form will be outlawed from golf’s biggest professional tour. In their place, the Tour’s competition committee will authorize the creation of its own “Committee Approved” yardage books, which the memo says will include traditional green information, but will not allow the raw information on slopes and grades that many have argued serves to undermine the skill of green-reading.
