The R&A

Co-author of the rules of golf

The R&A is the collective name of a group of companies that together play a significant role in the game of golf. Historically, "theĀ R&A" was a colloquial name for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of StĀ Andrews; in 2004, the club spun off its previous governance and tournament organisation roles into the current R&A group, and the club itself reverted to a private members-only club. The R&A is based in St Andrews, Scotland, and is the sole owner of three subsidiary companies: R&A Rules Limited, R&A Championships Limited, and R&A Group Services Limited.
