The Open Championship, often called The Open, is golfs original major, first played in 1860. Organized by The R&A, it is the only major staged outside the United States. The tournament rotates among storied links across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, including St Andrews, Royal Troon and Royal Liverpool. It sits on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour schedules, crowns the Champion Golfer of the Year and awards the Claret Jug each July.

At links venues the wind, firm turf and pot bunkers shape strategy and reward creativity. Host cities like St Andrews, Troon and Hoylake blend seaside charm with deep golf heritage. Fans can expect grandstand views near iconic holes, walkable layouts, dramatic weather swings and a global crowd that appreciates shotmaking. The atmosphere is tradition rich yet welcoming, turning every round into a vivid, shared moment.
