Men’s professional golf ‘unsustainable’ as absurd money putting fans off, warns outgoing R&A chief

Martin Slumbers has told the male professional game that the continuing split is damaging the sport.

The outgoing R&A chief executive has warned that dwindling viewing figures will only improve when the emphasis is not on money.

Slumbers was disappointed by the revelation that the US Ryder Cup team will break with nearly 100 years of tradition by paying its players directly from next year .

The AIG Women’s Open has been part of the drive to modernise the sport and take it away from the charges of sexism.

Slumbers is rightly proud of the event's standing in the female sport since the R&A assumed control of the British major.

Another important issue in his tenure has been to introduce regulations that will essentially rein back how far the ball can travel.
