Transcript

Rory McIlroy has yet to show up to Tier Sawgrass for the players championship due to his back injury. But all the golf world wants to talk about is Akshay Bhatia anchoring his putter. And I'll be the first to say it. Broomstick putters are one of the worst things in good. Not because it's an advantage, because if it was, every single professional would be using one. But because it looks like something an 80 year old golfer or somebody with chronic back issues would use. Maybe Rory needs to look into one. Oh, and also, if you like golf content like this, make sure you're following. But Akshay's had a solid 2026 season so far. Tied for third at Worst Management, tied for six over at Pebble Beach, tied sixteenth at the Genesis, and of worse, now winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational. And every single person on social media is calling him a cheater. Anchoring is cheating, and this is a clip of Akshay putting where people will say he is clearly anchoring. But thankfully, Michael Kim stepped in and said it's funny that Akshay anchoring is even a thing because in worse, it's not that close, and it's not a concern amongst the pros. So is Akshay anchoring? Who no? Does it look suspicious? Absolutely. But ultimately, it's going to come down to the PGA and the USGA to make a decision. But I wanna know your thoughts. Should the broomstick putter be illegal?
