Second, the same must be true for the players.
Third, the impact of sport must be positive, including in sporting, economic, environmental and cultural terms.

Note: There are multiple levels of tours. The PGA Tour and European Tour are both top-level tours with tournaments in different regions of the world, and professionals strive to become a member of one (or both) tours. Beneath the PGA Tour is the Web.com tour, and under that is the eGolf Tour. Beneath the European Tour is the Challenge Tour, and under that is the EuroPro Tour. We hope this helps you better understand!
