The number one reason to ban it is that golf is a spectator sport and nobody likes watching aimpoint. It is also slow, and poor pace of play can make golf less fun to watch as well.

Pro Golf is under some pressure to become more exciting to watch and faster paced. PGA Tour isn’t the only game in town- there is LIV, TGL, and YouTube golf competing.

I think we are going to see some measures in pro golf taken purely for the sake of the viewer. The pitch clock in baseball was a successful move with similar motivation

How much can aimpoint improve sub-pro level golfers? If it's just a little there's a risk that the pro stuff may seem dull, just people playing under even more arbitrary constraints than you do.

But if they're still leaps and bounds ahead it can still be fun watching people of a skill you understand enough to be amazed.

I'm a 20 handicap who bought AimPoint five or six years ago and it improved my green reading immensely. And I certainly do not waste playing partner's time on the green. It's just a quick feel, stick up the fingers and then putt.

The biggest issue with pro golf is how it’s produced. As for slow play that’s not AimPoint specific. You can play at a reasonable pace and use it. The Tour just needs to enforce pace.
