    Golf establishment 'look down on Gary Lineker as an ex-footballer'

    Royal & Ancient Golf Club constantly sniped about Lineker's credentials to present the Open, according to former BBC head of sport

    Gary Lineker's background as a footballer sparked "sniping" and resistance from golf's establishment when the BBC appointed him as their leading presenter for the sport, according to the channel's former head of sport.

    In a damning appraisal of the workings and attitudes of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, golf's rulemakers and governing body in Europe, Roger Mosey attacks the sexism and elitism that he encountered when organising coverage of the Open during the last decade.
