'''Raymond J. "Ray" Moore''' (born 24 August 1946) is a former professional [[tennis]] player from South Africa.

In June 1966 he won the [[East Gloucestershire Championships]] at Cheltenham on grass, defeating [[Tom Okker]] and [[Dick Crealy]] in the final two rounds.

In May 1969, Moore won the [[1969 Men's tennis tour|West Berlin Open Championships]], defeating [[Arthur Ashe]] and [[Cliff Drysdale]] in close five-set matches.

During his career he won eight doubles titles in the Open Era alone, finishing runner-up an additional 12 times in Open Era doubles.

Moore participated in 12 [[Davis Cup]] ties for [[South Africa Davis Cup team|South Africa]] from 1967 to 1977, including the [[1974 Davis Cup|1974 South African victory]], posting a 12–10 record in singles and posting an 0–1 mark in doubles.

In 1981, Moore teamed with Charlie Pasarell to begin the tournament that eventually became the Indian Wells Masters at the Indian Wells Gardens. They started at La Quinta Resort and Club, moved to Grand Champions Hotel, and then in 2000 opened the new Indian Wells Gardens, which holds the ATP Masters BNP Paribus Open. Moore and Pasarell sold the tournament to Larry Ellison in 2009 and Moore became the tournament director/CEO for the new owner.

==Remarks on female tennis and resignation==
On 22 March 2016, Moore resigned as CEO of the Indian Wells Masters tennis tournament, after drawing outrage over his remarks about the roles of women in tennis:<ref>{{cite web |title=Raymond Moore: Indian Wells CEO steps down amid outrage over sexist remarks |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/22/indian-wells-ceo-raymond-moore-steps-down-amid-outrage-over-tennis-sexism-row |website=[[The Guardian]]|location=London |date=22 March 2016}}</ref><ref name="espn">{{cite web |title=Indian Wells CEO Raymond Moore resigns after remarks drew outrage |url=http://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/15039381/indian-wells-ceo-raymond-moore-resigns-remarks-drew-outrage |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=22 March 2016}}</ref>
