Who we are
The R&A's purpose is to open golf to the world.
As custodians of the game, our aim is to unite golf and golfers through common rules and governance, inspire through the staging of world class championships including The Open and AIG Women's Open, and lead through working to shape the future of golf with our partners.The R&A governs the Rules of Golf, the World Handicap System, equipment standards and rankings in partnership with the USGA, while supporting both established and emerging formats of the game. Working collaboratively, we aim to grow participation, champion sustainability and broaden access, particularly for women, juniors and underrepresented groups, ensuring golf thrives for generations to come.
Our role today is built on a rich heritage that begins with The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, founded in 1754. Over more than 250 years, the Club evolved into one of the most influential institutions in golf. In 2004, The R&A was established to take on responsibility for governing the sport in partnership with the USGA, staging The Open, and developing golf worldwide. Today, we continue to combine history with innovation, delivering lasting economic and social value and creating inspiring experiences for players, fans and communities across the world.
In the next five years we will work with our partners to attract 22 million additional golfers, generate more than £1.5 billion in economic benefit through our championships, create more than £25 billion in social value, establish more than 200 strategic partnerships and generate more than 5 billion fan interactions.
