The head of the European Tour said Monday that China's ruling Communist Party banning its members from golf should be seen as a "positive" step for the game's growth in the world's most populous nation.
The Tour's new CEO, Keith Pelley, said the decision to introduce new rules on clean governance, which banned "extravagant eating and drinking", "improper sexual relationships" and "playing golf", would help change perceptions of the game in China.
