The PGA Tour will publish speed-of-play statistics later this season .

From 14 April testing will begin to impose stroke penalties on the slowest golfers.

The use of range finders will be allowed at tournaments between next month's Masters and the US PGA Championship in May to see whether this improves round times.

US PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas agrees that publicly revealing which players are the slowest will have a beneficial effect.

The US Ryder Cup star admits he is on the slow side of players.

Fans will surely welcome such long-awaited initiatives to improve pace of play on the game's biggest tour.
