The Open 2024 History

The Open Championship, also known as The Open or the British Open, is the world's oldest and most prestigious golf tournament. Established in 1860, it was initially held annually at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland and later rotated among select coastal links golf courses in the U.K. The R&A organizes the tournament.

As one of the four major men's golf tournaments, alongside the Master's Tournament, the PGA Championship, and the U.S. Open, The Open has traditionally been the year's final major since the PGA Championship's schedule change in 2019. It takes place in mid-July.

The name "The Open" signifies its inclusive nature, theoretically open to both professional and amateur golfers. However, in practice, the event primarily consists of professional players, with a few top amateurs participating through invitation or qualification. The tournament's success has inspired the introduction of numerous open golf tournaments worldwide.

The reigning champion is Cameron Smith, who triumphed in the 2022 Open at St Andrews with a score of 268.

The Open 2024 Course

The 152nd Open is ready and set to take place at the famous Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland. The tournament is set to take place from the 14th and 21st of July. The course is one of the most popular in the world among golfers, having hosted the Open more than ten times. Ten years after opening in 1878, Royal Troon's Old Course was expanded to 18 holes. Five-time champion golfer James Braid redesigned the course before the 1923 Open. Troon is designed in the traditional laid-back manner of the Old Course at St Andrew's, making it comparable to the latter. It winds down with a back nine that is as tough as any finale in the world, having begun sweetly through some of the most breathtaking links countries of any Open location.
