The pace of play has been a hot topic on the PGA and LPGA Tours, and Charley Hull has suggested an extreme way to solve the ongoing issue.

Slow play remains a major challenge for many competitors in both men's and women's golf, but Open Championship winner Ryan Fox is a prime example that playing quickly and winning can go hand in hand. The girls are also trying to speed up their game, and three-time LPGA Tour winner Hull has an idea that would have people spiraling, but also get the job done.

"I think you should get banned from the tour for a year or a three-month ban to start off with," Hull told Golfweek on her golden punishment.

"Because I want to play golf, and I'm sure the slow players want to play golf, and if the punishment is strict enough, you're not gonna play slower. You would make sure you'd play a lot quicker than we do."

Last year's Women's PGA Championship was just one example, where World No. 1 Nelly Korda opened up about struggles with the pace of play.

At 2025’s third major, the playground came to a near halt as 30 mph wind gusts and Texas heat dried out the firm greens. The delay was so severe that Korda and partner Brooke Henderson needed three hours and 10 minutes just to complete their front nine.

A combination of challenging course conditions and setup caused rough conditions in Frisco, leaving Korda and Henderson stuck on the course for roughly six hours during their third round.

"There is nowhere to go, so just patience,” Korda said. “I mean, I feel like I’ve — we’ve had lots of situations in the past like we’ve had to wait a long time.

"So, unfortunately, you're kind of used to it, which you don’t want to be used to, especially in a two-ball Saturday of a major.

"You don’t want to be spending 20 minutes and getting up to the next tee and then you’re 15 minutes and getting up to the next tee and it’s another 15 minutes. There is just like no momentum in it.

"So I don’t know. I mean, you just kind of have to go with it. Everyone is going through it, everyone is dealing with it, everyone is playing the same golf course.

"I think the wind was gusty throughout the majority of the day, so you just kind of have to be really creative and really patient."

This issue is equally prevalent in men's golf, as demonstrated by PGA Tour star Sam Burns stepping down from the circuit's pace-of-play committee.

He called the role a waste of time after seeing little impact on the PGA Tour's actual decision-making process following slow play.
