PGA Tour to address controversial irons issue

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem is to meet with players next Tuesday in a bid to address growing disquiet over the use of controversial pre-1990 Ping i2 irons.

A number of players, including world number two Phil Mickelson, have begun using the clubs to exploit a loophole in a new regulation outlawing the use of certain grooves in a bid to decrease the spin players can put on shots.
