Martin Slumbers is stepping down from his post at the end of the year. But he’s also nervous about what the future holds. Doremus, the investment banker turned R&A executive, has a stern warning for golf fans: The British Open will increase the size of its purse, but only by $500,000, half what the US PGA did this year. The purse size of the PGA Championship was $11 million in 2020; this year it was $18.5 million. The USGA has pumped in $9 million over the past three years. The U.S. Open prize money was $21.5 million. The Masters purse will increase by $5 million starting in 2022 and will now be matched by $20 million from the Signature event and 14 LIV golf events.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.” Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007. The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour. In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking. During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
