Modern courses are designed to create those kinds of scores. You see how much trouble a well-designed short par 3 like #12 at Augusta can cause.
Offense draws ratings. That’s why the MLB turned a blind eye to the steroid era and why the NFL designs rules to favor quarterbacks and wide receivers. The PGA does the same thing with course selection and setup. The powers that be want low scores. They could make changes with course setup and selection and bring the scores back up if they wanted to.
ETA as a poster mentioned above, make bunkers a true hazard again and remove some that players look at as a good spot to be in. . When guys are aiming at bunkers something needs to be done.
