Court with outstanding officials, primarily (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woo

'court' is the definition.
('woo' can be a synonym of 'court')

'with outstanding officials primarily' is the wordplay.
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'with outstanding officials' is 'WOO'.

(Other definitions for woo that I've seen before include "Court a lady" , "Try to attract" , "Court (someone)" , "Do courting" , "Try to get the girl?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
