## Caption

Charlie and Charlie take a deep dive into the Royal & Ancient (R&A), the centuries-old organisation that quietly governs the global game alongside the USGA. From The Open Championship's £150m-plus revenues and surprisingly modest prize money to the R&A's unique governance structure, this is an extraordinary look behind one of sport's most powerful and least understood institutions. Why is golf still controlled by a private members' club in St Andrews? How much money does The Open actually make? And why has this centuries-old model arguably worked better than many modern sports governing bodies?
