The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers have announced that they will re-vote on female membership by the middle of next month.

The club, which runs and owns Muirfield, stated:

"Voting in favour of the resolution to admit women as Members is recommended, unanimously, by the captain, captain nominate and the club committee of the Honourable Company."

The move comes after the R&A announced that Muirfield would not be considered for another Open Championship following the club's controversial vote last May to remain men-only.

The motion narrowly failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed to pass at the first vote.
