Golf is one of the few sports that keeps its roots, rules of play, dress and behavior have not changed over a hundred years, and the decision that a woman will announce players ahead of the prestigious Omega Masters in Dubai, it didn't sit well among the champions of tradition.

Well, she has more selfies than 'birdies' - someone commented on the attractive American golfer Paige Spiranac (24), who played in Dubai and replaced Ivor Robson, who has been working for the past 40 years.

Rude comments

American golfer sparked controversy in 2015 when he received an invitation to Dubai Masters.

"It's pretty clear why they called her," said some of the players, alluding to the attractive look of a blond American whose surname is likely to take root from Balkan area.
