The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews holds a unique position in golf. It was established in 1754, and evolved through two and a half centuries as a leading authority in the world game.
The Club celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2004 and it devolved responsibility for the administration of the Rules of Golf, the running of The Open Championship and other key events, and the development of the game in existing and emerging golfing nations, to a newly formed group of companies collectively known as The R&A.
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews remains as a private golf club with a world-wide membership of 2,400.
