Golf's governing bodies are expected to announce Wednesday their decision on what would be a significant rules change regarding putting, specifically whether players will be allowed to anchor the club to their body during the stroke.

For months, the United States Golf Association and the R&A -- which administers the game outside of the U.S. and Mexico -- have been mulling a change to the rules that would prohibit anchoring the club, a practice that has become more common with long putters and belly putters.

If such a rule is proposed or enacted, it would likely not go into effect until 2016, when golf's rule book could next be updated.
