HOW WE DID IT

‘SOMETIMES A VIDEO OF MY GOLF SWING WILL GET THREE MILLION VIEWS’ • As the original Insta golf girl, Paige Spiranac has built a following which far outstrips the biggest names in golf. Her success owes as much to the flirtatious nature of her content as it does to finding a niche in a sport which has always taken itself too seriously…

EXCLUSIVE ‘OUR MISSION IS TO GROW THE GAME AND CLOSE THE GAP FINANCIALLY IN WOMEN'S GOLF’ • Justin Rose tells Michael Catling how hearing about the plight of LET stars gave him a guilty conscience, and why he wants to emulate what Sir Andy Murray is doing in tennis to drive equality.

EXCLUSIVE ‘I BELIEVE TAYLORMADE WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADING BALL IN GOLF WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS’ • Once described as “the man with the Midas touch”, David Abeles has turned Taylor Made into a global powerhouse and recruited some of the biggest names in golf as brand ambassadors. Now he's looking to topple Titleist as the leading golf ball manufacturer.

‘WE WILL NOT BE BANNING LIV GOLFERS – BUT WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR EXEMPTIONS AND QUALIFICATION CRITERIA FOR THE OPEN’ • Martin Slumbers has the power to decide where The Open goes and who is eligible. This is his take on whatthefuture holdsfor LIV golfers and why the R&A won't undermine the spirit of open competitions.
