The world’s oldest (and most iconic) golf competition is back for its 152nd round! Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 British Open Championship.

Where is the 152nd Open?

The 2024 Open Championship will take place at Royal Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland. The prestigious course dates back as far as 1878 and has already hosted the golfing event nine times!

Royal Troon was designed by five-time Champion Golfer James Braid ahead of its first Open in 1923 and shares similarities with the traditional out-and-back manner of the Old Course at St Andrews.

Official sources say "Troon's test begins with a gentle opening through some of the most striking links land to be found at any of the Open venues and concludes with a back nine as tough as any finish in the world."

When is the 2024 Open Championship?

The Open 2024 will begin on July 14 and end on July 21. This will be the 10th Open held at the legendary Royal Troon since it first hosted in 1923!

Who is playing at The Open 2024?

The 2024 British Open lineup features the world’s major champions, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and last year’s winner Brian Harman, as well as several players who will make their Open debut. See below for the full list.
