It is the world’s original golf championship. It is also the final men’s major of the season. The prize is the coveted title of “Champion Golfer of the Year”.

Founded in 1860, The Open is held annually in the United Kingdom on a rotation of links courses, and by definition, always by the sea. Representing a real return to the roots of the sport, it takes place in often changeable weather conditions. To be crowned champion at The Open means defeating the world’s finest players while taming the elements, which can be as challenging as they are unpredictable.
