Former U.S. Open champion and PGA Tour star Lucas Glover calls for AimPoint Express to be banned on the golf course because “it’s rude” and “takes forever”.
The American’s vocal rant on AimPoint comes nearly two years after Paige Spiranac ripped into the putting method at the 2023 Masters.
Spiranac considered AimPoint was contributing to “brutal” pace of play at Augusta National.
AimPoint Express is a green-reading system designed to help golfers accurately predict break and improve putting consistency.
Developed by Mark Sweeney, it simplifies the process by using finger placement to determine the correct aim point.
Golfers assess slope using their feet, assign a slope value (1-5), and then use their fingers at arm’s length to find the ideal target.
The AimPoint Express putting method has most certainly grown in popularlity in recent years, especially with a number of players on the PGA Tour.
The likes of Adam Scott, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Tom Kim and current U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley are just seven big-name PGA Tour stars who consistently use AimPoint on the greens in 2025.
Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka has also dabbled with AimPoint over on LIV Golf, too.
But in the eyes of 2009 U.S. Open champion Glover, he considers the AimPoint Express putting method “statistically hasn’t helped anybody” on the PGA Tour.
Golf professional Justin Glover argues that being near the hole while stomping around the greens burdened with rudeness.
In his opinion the system should face a permanent ban because its implementation extends tour playtime out of control.
The United States Ryder Cup captain Bradley needs to address the statements Glover made regarding AimPoint which Bradley applies during PGA Tour events.
His comments about AimPoint’s usage create challenges for his quest to obtain a selection from Bradley as one of his 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team wildcard picks.
