Cape Town - South African Tim Clark says he is among "a fair number" of players taking legal advice over the ban on the anchoring of putters from January 1, 2016.
The 37-year-old told reporters ahead of the PGA Tour's Crowne Plaza Invitational, "We do have legal counsel. We're going to explore our options. We're not going to just roll over and accept this."
On Tuesday golf's governing bodies approved a new rule that outlaws the putting stroke used by four of the last six major champions.
Clark, who has 12 professional wins including the 2010 Players Championship, has been anchoring his putter to his chest since turning pro in 1998.
