The Open Championship, often referred to as The Open or the British Open, is the oldest <a href="Golf" title="Golf">golf</a> tournament in the world, and one of the most prestigious. Founded in 1860, it was originally held annually at <a href="Prestwick_Golf_Club" title="Prestwick Golf Club">Prestwick Golf Club</a> in <a href="Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a>. Later the venue rotated between a select group of coastal <a href="Links_(golf)" title="Links (golf)">links</a> golf courses in the <a href="United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">United Kingdom</a>. It is organised by <a href="The_R%26A" title="The R&A">The R&A</a>.

The Open is one of the four <a href="Men's_major_golf_championships" title="Men's major golf championships">men's major golf championships</a>, the others being the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters Tournament</a>, the <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a> and the <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a>. Since the PGA Championship moved to May in 2019, the Open has been chronologically the fourth and final major tournament of the year. It is held in mid-July.

It is called The Open because it is in theory "open" to all, i.e. professional and amateur golfers. In practice, the current event is a professional tournament in which a small number of the world's leading amateurs also play, by invitation or qualification. The success of the tournament has led to many other <a href="Open_golf_tournament" title="Open golf tournament">open golf tournaments</a> to be introduced around the world.

The winner is named "The Champion Golfer of the Year", a title that dates to the first Open in 1860, and receives the <a href="Claret_Jug" title="Claret Jug">Claret Jug</a>, a trophy first awarded in 1872.<a href="#cite_note-Jug-2">[2]</a> The reigning champion is American <a href="Scottie_Scheffler" title="Scottie Scheffler">Scottie Scheffler</a>, who won the <a href="2025_Open_Championship" title="2025 Open Championship">2025 Open</a> at <a href="Royal_Portrush_Golf_Club" title="Royal Portrush Golf Club">Royal Portrush</a> with a score of 267 (17 under par).

The <a href="1860_Open_Championship" title="1860 Open Championship">first Open Championship</a> was played on 17 October 1860 at <a href="Prestwick_Golf_Club" title="Prestwick Golf Club">Prestwick Golf Club</a> in <a href="Ayrshire" title="Ayrshire">Ayrshire</a>, Scotland, over three rounds of the twelve-hole <a href="Links_golf" class="mw-redirect" title="Links golf">links</a> course.<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> In the mid-19th century golf was played mainly by well-off gentlemen, as hand-crafted clubs and balls were expensive. Professionals made a living from playing for bets, caddying, ball and club making, and instruction. <a href="Allan_Robertson" title="Allan Robertson">Allan Robertson</a> was the most famous of these pros, and was regarded as the undisputed best golfer between 1843 and his death in 1859.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> <a href="James_Ogilvie_Fairlie" title="James Ogilvie Fairlie">James Ogilvie Fairlie</a> of <a href="Prestwick_Golf_Club" title="Prestwick Golf Club">Prestwick Golf Club</a> decided to form a competition in 1860, "to be played for by professional golfers",<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> and to decide who would succeed Robertson as the "Champion Golfer". <a href="Blackheath%2C_London%2C_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Blackheath, London, England">Blackheath</a> (England), <a href="Royal_Perth_Golfing_Society" title="Royal Perth Golfing Society">Perth</a>, <a href="Bruntsfield_Links" title="Bruntsfield Links">Bruntsfield</a> (Edinburgh), <a href="Musselburgh_Links" title="Musselburgh Links">Musselburgh</a> and <a href="St_Andrews_Golf_Club" title="St Andrews Golf Club">St Andrews</a> golf clubs were invited to send up to three of their best players known as a "respectable caddie" to represent each of the clubs.<a href="#cite_note-Links_Magazine-6">[6]</a> The winner received the Challenge Belt, made from red leather with a silver buckle and worth £25, which came about thanks to being donated by the <a href="Archibald_Montgomerie%2C_13th_Earl_of_Eglinton" title="Archibald Montgomerie, 13th Earl of Eglinton">Earl of Eglinton</a>, a man with a keen interest in medieval pageantry (belts were the type of trophy that might have been competed for in archery or jousting).<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_Heritage-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Links_Magazine-6">[6]</a>

The first rule of the new golf competition was "The party winning the belt shall always leave the belt with the treasurer of the club until he produces a guarantee to the satisfaction of the above committee that the belt shall be safely kept and laid on the table at the next meeting to compete for it until it becomes the property of the winner by being won three times in succession".<a href="#cite_note-Belt&Jug_History-8">[8]</a> Eight golfers contested the event, with <a href="Willie_Park%2C_Sr." class="mw-redirect" title="Willie Park, Sr.">Willie Park, Sr.</a> winning the championship by 2 shots from <a href="Old_Tom_Morris" title="Old Tom Morris">Old Tom Morris</a>, and he was declared "The Champion Golfer of the Year".<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1860-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a>

A year later, it became "open" to amateurs as well as professionals. Ten professionals and eight amateurs contested the event, with Old Tom Morris winning the championship by 4 shots from Willie Park, Sr.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1861-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> A prize fund (£10) was introduced in 1863 split between 2nd, 3rd and 4th (the winner only received the Challenge Belt). From 1864 onwards a cash prize was also paid to the winner.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1863-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1864-12">[12]</a> Before this the only financial incentive was scheduling Prestwick's own domestic tournament the same week, this allowed professionals to earn a few days' work caddying for the wealthier gentlemen.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Willie Park, Sr. went on to win two more tournaments, and Old Tom Morris three more, before <a href="Young_Tom_Morris" title="Young Tom Morris">Young Tom Morris</a> won three consecutive titles between 1868 and 1870. The rules stated that he was allowed to keep the belt for achieving this feat. Because no trophy was available, the tournament was not held in 1871.<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_introduction_of_course_rotation_and_the_Claret_Jug_(1872–1889)">The introduction of course rotation and the Claret Jug (1872–1889)</h3></div>

On 11 September 1872 agreement was reached between Prestwick, the <a href="Honourable_Company_of_Edinburgh_Golfers" class="mw-redirect" title="Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers">Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers</a> and <a href="The_Royal_and_Ancient_Golf_Club_of_St_Andrews" title="The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews">The Royal and Ancient Golf Club</a>. They decided that each of the three clubs would contribute £10 towards the cost of a new silver trophy, which became known as the <a href="Claret_Jug" title="Claret Jug">Claret Jug</a>, known officially as The Golf Champion Trophy, and hosting of the Open would be rotated between the three clubs. These decisions were taken too late for the trophy to be presented to the <a href="1872_Open_Championship" title="1872 Open Championship">1872 Open</a> champion, who was once again Young Tom Morris. Instead, he was awarded with a medal inscribed 'The Golf Champion Trophy', although he is the first to be engraved on the Claret Jug as the 1872 winner. Medals have been given to, and kept by the winner ever since.<a href="#cite_note-Belt&Jug_History-8">[8]</a> <a href="Young_Tom_Morris" title="Young Tom Morris">Young Tom Morris</a> died in 1875, aged 24.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

The tournament continued to be dominated and won by Scottish professionals, to be rotated between the three Scottish golf courses, and played over 36 holes in a single day until 1889.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1889-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="English_hosts_and_winners,_and_the_Great_Triumvirate_(1890–1914)">English hosts and winners, and the Great Triumvirate (1890–1914)</h3></div>

In the 1890s, the tournament was won four times by three Englishman (two of whom were amateurs).<a href="#cite_note-Open_Winners-16">[16]</a> In 1892 the tournament was played for the first time at the newly built <a href="Muirfield" title="Muirfield">Muirfield</a>, which replaced <a href="Musselburgh_Links" title="Musselburgh Links">Musselburgh</a> as the host venue used by the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1892-17">[17]</a> A few years later <a href="St_George's_Golf_Club" class="mw-redirect" title="St George's Golf Club">St George's</a><a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1894-18">[18]</a> and <a href="Royal_Liverpool_Golf_Club" title="Royal Liverpool Golf Club">Royal Liverpool</a><a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1897-19">[19]</a> in England were added to the rotation. From 1892 the tournament was increased in duration to four 18-hole rounds over two days<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1892-17">[17]</a> (Prestwick had been extended to an 18-hole course by then<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1884-20">[20]</a>).

Between 1898 and 1925 the tournament either had a cut after 36 holes, or a qualifying event,<a href="#cite_note-Practice_Ruling2-21">[21]</a> and the largest field was 226 in 1911.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1911-22">[22]</a> The large field meant sometimes the tournament was spread across up to four days.<a href="#cite_note-irshlds-23">[23]</a> In 1907 <a href="Arnaud_Massy" title="Arnaud Massy">Arnaud Massy</a> from <a href="France" title="France">France</a> became the first non-British winner.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1907-24">[24]</a> <a href="Royal_Cinque_Ports" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Cinque Ports">Royal Cinque Ports</a> in England became the 6th different Open host course in 1909.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1909-25">[25]</a>

The pre-war period is most famous for the <a href="Great_Triumvirate_(golf)" title="Great Triumvirate (golf)">Great Triumvirate</a> of <a href="Harry_Vardon" title="Harry Vardon">Harry Vardon</a> (Jersey), <a href="John_Henry_Taylor" title="John Henry Taylor">John Henry Taylor</a> (England), and <a href="James_Braid_(golfer)" title="James Braid (golfer)">James Braid</a> (Scotland). The trio combined to win The Open Championship 16 times in the 21 tournaments held between 1894 and 1914; Vardon won six times (a record that still stands today) with Braid and Taylor winning five apiece. In the five tournaments in this span the Triumvirate did not win, one or more of them finished runner-up. These rivalries enormously increased the public's interest in golf, but the <a href="First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a> meant another Open was not held until 1920, and none of the trio won another Open.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="American_success_with_Walter_Hagen_and_Bobby_Jones,_and_the_last_Open_at_Prestwick_(1920–1939)">American success with Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones, and the last Open at Prestwick (1920–1939)</h3></div>

In 1920 the Open returned, and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club became the sole organiser of the Open Championship. In 1926 they standardised the format of the tournament to spread over three days (18 holes on day 1 and 2, and 36 on day 3), and include both qualifying and a cut.<a href="#cite_note-Practice_Ruling2-21">[21]</a>

In 1921 eleven U.S.-based players travelled to Scotland financed by a popular subscription called the "British Open Championship Fund", after a campaign by the American magazine Golf Illustrated.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Five of these players were British born, and had emigrated to America to take advantage of the high demand for club professionals as the popularity of golf grew.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> A match was played between the Americans and a team of British professionals, which is seen as a forerunner of the <a href="Ryder_Cup" title="Ryder Cup">Ryder Cup</a>.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> When the Open was held two weeks later, one of these visitors, <a href="Jock_Hutchison" title="Jock Hutchison">Jock Hutchison</a>, a naturalised American citizen, won in <a href="St_Andrews" title="St Andrews">St Andrews</a>, the town of his birth.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1921-30">[30]</a>

In 1922 <a href="Walter_Hagen" title="Walter Hagen">Walter Hagen</a> won the first of his four Opens, and become the first American-born winner. The period between 1923 and 1933 saw an American-based player win every year (two were British-born), and included three wins by amateur <a href="Bobby_Jones_(golfer)" title="Bobby Jones (golfer)">Bobby Jones</a>, and one by <a href="Gene_Sarazen" title="Gene Sarazen">Gene Sarazen</a>, who had already won top tournaments in the United States. English players won every year between 1934 and 1939, including two wins by <a href="Henry_Cotton_(golfer)" title="Henry Cotton (golfer)">Henry Cotton</a> (he would go on to win a third in 1948).<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a>

After overcrowding issues at the 1925 Open at Prestwick, it was decided it was no longer suitable for the growing size of the event, being too short, having too many blind shots, and it could not cope with the volume of spectators.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1925-31">[31]</a> The Open's original venue was replaced on the rota with <a href="Carnoustie_Golf_Club" class="mw-redirect" title="Carnoustie Golf Club">Carnoustie</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1931-32">[32]</a> which hosted for the first time in 1931. <a href="Royal_Troon_Golf_Club" title="Royal Troon Golf Club">Troon</a> hosted for the first time in 1923,<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1923-33">[33]</a> and <a href="Royal_Lytham_%26_St_Annes_Golf_Club" title="Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club">Royal Lytham & St Annes</a> was also added, hosting for the first time in 1926.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1926-34">[34]</a> <a href="Prince's_Golf_Club" title="Prince's Golf Club">Prince's</a> hosted its one and only Open in 1932.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1932-35">[35]</a>

The Open returned after the <a href="Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a> to St Andrews, with a victory for American <a href="Sam_Snead" title="Sam Snead">Sam Snead</a>. <a href="Bobby_Locke" title="Bobby Locke">Bobby Locke</a> became the first South African winner, winning three times in four years between 1949 and 1952, and later winning a fourth title in 1957. Having already won the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters</a> and the <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a> earlier in the year, Ben Hogan won in his one and only Open appearance in 1953 to win the "Triple Crown".<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> His achievement was so well regarded he returned to <a href="New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> to a ticker-tape parade.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> <a href="Peter_Thomson_(golfer)" title="Peter Thomson (golfer)">Peter Thomson</a> became the first Australian winner, winning four times in five years between 1954 and 1958, and later winning a fifth title in 1965.<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> After flooding prevented <a href="Royal_Cinque_Ports_Golf_Club" title="Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club">Royal Cinque Ports</a> from hosting, both in 1938 and 1949, it was removed from the rota.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> The Open was played outside of England and Scotland for the first time in 1951 at <a href="Royal_Portrush_Golf_Club" title="Royal Portrush Golf Club">Royal Portrush</a>, <a href="Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1951-38">[38]</a>

The period saw fewer American entrants, as the <a href="PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a> had grown to be quite lucrative, and the <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a> was often played at the same or similar time paying triple the prize money.<a href="#cite_note-ghcpmrsd-39">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-PGA_Champ-40">[40]</a> A larger golf ball was also used in America, which meant they had to adjust for the Open.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1953-41">[41]</a>

In 1959, <a href="Gary_Player" title="Gary Player">Gary Player</a>, a young <a href="South_Africa" title="South Africa">South African</a>, won the first of his three Opens. Only four Americans had entered, but in 1960 <a href="Arnold_Palmer" title="Arnold Palmer">Arnold Palmer</a> travelled to Scotland after winning the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters</a> and <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a>, in an attempt to emulate <a href="Ben_Hogan" title="Ben Hogan">Hogan's</a> 1953 feat of winning all three tournaments in a single year. Although he finished second to <a href="Kel_Nagle" title="Kel Nagle">Kel Nagle</a>, he returned and won the Open in 1961 and 1962. Palmer was hugely popular in America, and his victories are likely to have been the first time many Americans would have seen the Open on television. This, along with the growth of trans-Atlantic jet travel, inspired many more Americans to travel in the future.<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a>

The period is primarily defined by the competition between Player, Palmer, and <a href="Jack_Nicklaus" title="Jack Nicklaus">Jack Nicklaus</a>. Nicklaus won three times (1966, 1970, 1978) and had a record seven runner-ups. American <a href="Lee_Trevino" title="Lee Trevino">Lee Trevino</a> also made his mark winning his two Opens back to back in 1971 and 1972, the latter denying Nicklaus a calendar year Grand Slam.<a href="#cite_note-PGA_College-3">[3]</a> The only British champion in this period was <a href="Tony_Jacklin" title="Tony Jacklin">Tony Jacklin</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1969-42">[42]</a> and it is also notable for having the first winner from <a href="Argentina" title="Argentina">Argentina</a>, <a href="Roberto_De_Vicenzo" title="Roberto De Vicenzo">Roberto De Vicenzo</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1967-43">[43]</a>

By 1975, the concept of the modern majors had been firmly established, and the <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a> had been moved to August since 1969,<a href="#cite_note-PGA_Champ-40">[40]</a> so no longer clashed with the Open. This meant the Open had a feel similar to the current tournament, with the leaders after 36 holes going off last (1957 onwards),<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> all players having to use the "bigger ball" (1974 onwards),<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-asbcio-46">[46]</a><a href="#cite_note-mcobd-47">[47]</a> play spread over four days (1966 onwards, although the days were Wednesday to Saturday until 1980),<a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1966-48">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-Open_-_1980-49">[49]</a> and a field containing all the world's best players.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Traditions">Traditions</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Links_golf_course">Links golf course</h3></div>

The Open is always played on a coastal <a href="Links_golf" class="mw-redirect" title="Links golf">links golf</a> course. Links golf is often described as the "purest" form of golf and keeps a connection with the way the game originated in Scotland in the 15th century. The terrain is open, often without any trees, and will generally be undulating with a sandy base. The golf courses are often primarily shaped by nature, rather than 'built'. Weather, particularly wind, plays an important role, and although there will be a prevailing onshore breeze, changes in the wind direction and strength over the course of the tournament can mean each round of golf has to be played slightly differently. The courses are also famous for deep pot bunkers, and gorse bushes that make up the "rough". A golfer playing on a links course will often adapt his game so the flight of the ball is lower and so is less impacted by the wind, but this will make distance control more difficult. Also due to the windy conditions the speed of the greens are often slower than a golfer might be used to on the <a href="PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a>, to avoid the ball being moved by a gust.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a><a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Old_Course_at_St_Andrews">Old Course at St Andrews</h3></div>

The <a href="Old_Course_at_St_Andrews" title="Old Course at St Andrews">Old Course at St Andrews</a> is regarded as the oldest golf course in the world, and winning the Open there is widely considered to be one of the pinnacles of achievement in golf.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Given the special status of the Old Course, the Open is generally played there once every five years in the modern era, much more frequently than the other courses used for the Open.<a href="#cite_note-List_of_Winners/Venues-68">[68]</a>

Previous champions will often choose St Andrews as their final Open tournament. It has become traditional to come down the 18th fairway to huge applause from the amphitheatre crowds, and to pose for final pictures on the <a href="Swilcan_Bridge" title="Swilcan Bridge">Swilken Bridge</a> with the picturesque clubhouse and town in the background.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Trophy_presentation">Trophy presentation</h3></div>

The Open trophy is the <a href="Claret_Jug" title="Claret Jug">Claret Jug</a>, which has been presented to the champion since 1873 (it was first awarded to <a href="Young_Tom_Morris" title="Young Tom Morris">Young Tom Morris</a> in 1872, however the trophy was not ready in time—his name is the first to be engraved on it).<a href="#cite_note-Jug-2">[2]</a> The original trophy permanently resides on display in the R&A's Clubhouse at St Andrews. Therefore, the trophy that is presented at each Open is a replica which is retained by the winner for a year. It used to be the responsibility of the winner to get his name engraved on the trophy, but 1967 winner <a href="Roberto_De_Vicenzo" title="Roberto De Vicenzo">Roberto De Vicenzo</a> returned the trophy without having done so.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> Subsequently, the winner's name is already engraved on it when presented, which often results in television commentators speculating as to when it is safe for the engraver to start.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a>

The winner of the Open is announced as "The Champion Golfer of the Year", a title which has been used since the first Open in 1860.<a href="#cite_note-Jug-2">[2]</a> He will nearly always pose for photos with the trophy sitting on one of the distinctive pot bunkers.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> Three-time winner <a href="Jack_Nicklaus" title="Jack Nicklaus">Jack Nicklaus</a> said holding the Claret Jug was like holding "a newborn baby", and on other players putting champagne or other drinks inside it to celebrate their Open win, he said "I never used the Claret Jug for anything other than what it symbolized – Champion Golfer of the Year."<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a>

The first event was held as an invitational tournament, but the next year <a href="Prestwick_Golf_Club" title="Prestwick Golf Club">Prestwick Golf Club</a> declared that "the belt... on all future occasions, shall be open to all the world".<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> In its early years it was often referred to as The Championship but with the advent of the <a href="Amateur_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="Amateur Championship">Amateur Championship</a> in 1885, it became more common to refer to it as The Open Championship or simply The Open. The tournament inspired other national bodies to introduce <a href="Open_golf_tournament" title="Open golf tournament">open golf tournaments</a> of their own, such as the <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a>, and later many others.<a href="#cite_note-theopen-name-76">[76]</a> To distinguish it from their own national open, it became common in many countries to refer to the tournament as the "British Open". <a href="The_R%26A" title="The R&A">The R&A</a> (the tournament's organiser) continued to refer to it as The Open Championship. During the <a href="Interwar_period" title="Interwar period">interwar years</a>, a period with many U.S.-based winners, the term British Open would occasionally be used during the trophy presentation and in British newspapers.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a>

In 2017, a representative of <a href="The_R%26A" title="The R&A">the R&A</a> openly stated that it is a priority to "eradicate the term British Open" and have a single identity and brand of "The Open" in all countries.<a href="#cite_note-businsider-name-79">[79]</a> Tournament partners, such as the <a href="PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a>, now refer to it without "British" in the title,<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> media rightsholders are contractually required to refer to the event as The Open Championship,<a href="#cite_note-businsider-name-79">[79]</a> and the official website has released a statement titled "Why it's called 'The Open' and not the 'British Open'" stating that "The Open is the correct name for the Championship. It is also the most appropriate".<a href="#cite_note-theopen-name-76">[76]</a> The R&A's stance has attracted criticism from some commentators.<a href="#cite_note-businsider-name-79">[79]</a><a href="#cite_note-wsj-name-81">[81]</a><a href="#cite_note-golfdigest-openname-82">[82]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Status">Status</h2></div>

The Open is recognised as one of the four <a href="Men's_major_golf_championships" title="Men's major golf championships">major championships</a> in golf, and is an official event on the <a href="PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a>, <a href="European_Tour" class="mw-redirect" title="European Tour">European Tour</a>, and the <a href="Japan_Golf_Tour" title="Japan Golf Tour">Japan Golf Tour</a>.

The Open began in 1860, and for many years it was not the most-followed event in golf, as challenge matches between top golfers were more keenly followed and drew larger crowds.<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> The <a href="Great_Triumvirate_(golf)" title="Great Triumvirate (golf)">Great Triumvirate</a> dominated the Open between 1894 and 1914 and were primarily responsible for the formation of the <a href="Professional_Golfers'_Association_(Great_Britain_and_Ireland)" title="Professional Golfers' Association (Great Britain and Ireland)">PGA</a> in 1901 which had a big impact in promoting interest in professional golf (and therefore The Open) and increasing playing standards.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> Between the World Wars, the first wins by Americans were widely celebrated when they broke the dominance previously held by British players.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> After <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, although the profile of the tournament remained high in the UK and <a href="Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth</a> countries, the low prize money compared to the US events and the cost of travel meant fewer Americans participated.

When the modern concept of the <a href="Men's_major_golf_championships" title="Men's major golf championships">majors</a> was cemented, the Open was included as one of those four. Thus, the Open is now one of the four <a href="Men's_major_golf_championships" title="Men's major golf championships">majors</a> in golf, along with the <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a>, <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a>, and <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters Tournament</a>. The term "major" is a universally acknowledged unofficial term used by players, the media, and golf followers to define the most important tournaments, and performance in them is often used to define the careers of the best golfers.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> There is often discussion amongst the golfing community as to whether the Open, <a href="U.S._Open_(golf)" title="U.S. Open (golf)">U.S. Open</a>, or the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters Tournament</a> is the most prestigious major, but opinion varies (often linked to nationality). The <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a> is usually seen as the least prestigious of the four.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a>

In terms of official recognition, the tournament has been an event on the <a href="European_Tour" class="mw-redirect" title="European Tour">European Tour</a> since its formation in 1972. In 1995, prize money won in the Open was included in the <a href="PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a> official money list for the first time, a change that caused an increase in the number of American entries.<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> In addition all previous PGA Tour seasons have been retroactively adjusted to include the Open in official money and win statistics.

Qualifying was introduced in 1907, and for much of its history, all players had to go through the qualification process. In the modern era, the majority of players get an exemption from qualification which is awarded for previous performance in the Open, performance in high-profile global tournaments (such as other <a href="Major_(golf)" class="mw-redirect" title="Major (golf)">majors</a>), performance in top <a href="Golf_tour" class="mw-redirect" title="Golf tour">golf tours</a>, or a high position in the <a href="Official_World_Golf_Ranking" title="Official World Golf Ranking">Official World Golf Ranking</a> (OWGR). Five amateurs are also exempt from qualifying by winning various global amateur titles provided they maintain their amateur status prior to The Open.<a href="#cite_note-:1-93">[93]</a>

Another way of qualifying is to finish in a high position in the Open Qualifying Series of global events, which are about twelve tour events across the globe, run by various local golfing organisations.<a href="#cite_note-Qualification-94">[94]</a>

Any male professional golfer, male amateur golfer whose playing handicap does not exceed 0.4 (i.e. scratch) or has been within <a href="World_Amateur_Golf_Ranking" title="World Amateur Golf Ranking">World Amateur Golf Ranking</a> listing 1–2,000 during the current calendar year, and any female golfer who finished in the top 5 and ties in the latest edition of any of the five <a href="Women's_major_golf_championships" title="Women's major golf championships">women's majors</a> is eligible to enter local qualifying. If they perform well they will go on to Final Qualifying, which is four simultaneous 36-hole one-day events held across the UK, with 12 players qualifying for the Open.<a href="#cite_note-Qualification-94">[94]</a> If there are any spots left, then alternates are made up from the highest ranked players in the OWGR who are not already qualified, which brings the total field up to 156 players.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a>

In 2018, the OWGR gave the Open a strength of field rating of 902 (the maximum possible is 1000 if the top 200 players in the world were all in a tournament). This was only bettered by the <a href="PGA_Championship" title="PGA Championship">PGA Championship</a>, a tournament which actively targets a high strength of field rating.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Format">Format</h3></div>

Field: 156 players<a href="#cite_note-:2-98">[98]</a>

Groupings of two on the last two days with last place going off first and leaders going out last.<a href="#cite_note-TeeOff-100">[100]</a>

Cut: after 36 holes, only top 70 and ties play the final 36 holes.<a href="#cite_note-:2-98">[98]</a>

Playoff: if there is a tie for the lead after 72 holes, a three-hole aggregate playoff is held; followed by sudden death if the lead is still tied.<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Prizes">Prizes</h2></div>

Up until 2016, the purse was always stated, and paid, in <a href="Pounds_sterling" class="mw-redirect" title="Pounds sterling">pounds sterling</a> (£), but was changed in 2017 to <a href="US_dollars" class="mw-redirect" title="US dollars">US dollars</a> ($) in recognition of the fact that it is the most widely adopted currency for prize money in golf.<a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Silver_Medal_winners">Silver Medal winners</h2></div>

Since 1949, the silver medal is awarded to the leading amateur, provided that the player completes all 72 holes.<a href="#cite_note-claretjug-105">[105]</a> In the earlier years wealthy individuals would often maintain their amateur status, and hence could win multiple times, such as <a href="Frank_Stranahan" title="Frank Stranahan">Frank Stranahan</a> who won it four times in the first five years (and was also the low amateur in <a href="1947_Open_Championship" title="1947 Open Championship">1947</a>). In the modern era players often turn professional soon after winning the silver medal, and hence never have a chance for multiple wins. <a href="Tiger_Woods" title="Tiger Woods">Tiger Woods</a> and <a href="Rory_McIlroy" title="Rory McIlroy">Rory McIlroy</a> are the only silver medal winners who have gone on to win the Open.

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="List_of_The_Open_Championship_broadcasters" title="List of The Open Championship broadcasters">List of The Open Championship broadcasters</a></div>

The distribution of The Open is provided by a partnership between R&A Productions, European Tour Productions (both run by <a href="IMG_(company)" title="IMG (company)">IMG</a>) and CTV Outside Broadcasting. The broadcasters with onsite production are <a href="Sky_UK" title="Sky UK">Sky</a> (UK), <a href="NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> (USA), <a href="BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a> (UK), and <a href="TV_Asahi" title="TV Asahi">TV Asahi</a> (Japan).<a href="#cite_note-IMG-179">[169]</a>

Many non-British broadcasters referred to the Open as the "British" Open in their coverage until 2010, when <a href="The_R%26A" title="The R&A">The R&A</a> introduced use of contractual terms in their media contracts, similar to the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters</a>, and now rights holders are obliged to refer to the tournament as "The Open".<a href="#cite_note-businsider-name-79">[79]</a> On 7 November 2018, the <a href="Comcast" title="Comcast">parent company</a> of the U.S. rights holder, <a href="NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>, completed a takeover of the U.K. rights holder, <a href="Sky_(company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sky (company)">Sky</a>. This means the media rights in the two primary markets are owned by the same company, albeit produced separately by two different <a href="Subsidiary" title="Subsidiary">subsidiaries</a>.<a href="#cite_note-180">[170]</a> There are over 170 cameras on site during the tournament, including cameras in the face of the Open's pot bunkers.<a href="#cite_note-svg-open2016-181">[171]</a><a href="#cite_note-NBC-182">[172]</a>

Ivor Robson was the announcer for 41 years; he died in October 2023.<a href="#cite_note-183">[173]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_Kingdom">United Kingdom</h3></div>

The BBC first started to broadcast the Open in 1955,<a href="#cite_note-guardian-skydeal-184">[174]</a> with <a href="Peter_Alliss" title="Peter Alliss">Peter Alliss</a> involved since 1961, and having the role of lead commentator since 1978.<a href="#cite_note-185">[175]</a> With the growth of <a href="Pay_television" title="Pay television">pay television</a>, and the increasing value of sporting rights, the BBC's golf portfolio began to reduce. The loss of the rights to the <a href="Scottish_Open_(golf)" title="Scottish Open (golf)">Scottish Open</a>, and <a href="BMW_PGA_Championship" title="BMW PGA Championship">BMW PGA Championship</a> in 2012 left the BBC's only golf coverage as the Open, and the final two days of the <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters</a> (which it shared with Sky). With so little golf, the BBC was accused of neglecting investment in production and was criticised about its 'quality of coverage and innovation' compared to <a href="Sky_UK" title="Sky UK">Sky</a>, which held the rights to most golf events. The tournament is considered a Category B event under the <a href="Ofcom_Code_on_Sports_and_Other_Listed_and_Designated_Events" title="Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events">Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events</a>, which allows its rights to be held by a pay television broadcaster as long as sufficient secondary coverage is provided by a free-to-air broadcaster.<a href="#cite_note-TheCode-186">[176]</a><a href="#cite_note-guardian-skydeal-184">[174]</a><a href="#cite_note-187">[177]</a>

Many were hoping that a deal similar to the Masters would be reached, where Sky had coverage of all four days, and the BBC also provided live weekend coverage, but Sky were not keen on this and won the full rights in 2015. Some were angered about the demise of golf on terrestrial television, and the impact that could have on the interest in golf in the U.K.,<a href="#cite_note-guardian-whatif-188">[178]</a><a href="#cite_note-guardian-couldlose-189">[179]</a> whilst others were pleased about the perceived improved coverage that Sky would give.<a href="#cite_note-UKbroadcast-190">[180]</a> Despite Peter Alliss promising on air that the BBC would cover the 2016 event, the BBC reached a deal for Sky to take the coverage. The BBC still covers the tournament, showing highlights from 8pm–10pm on tournament days and radio coverage on <a href="Radio_5_Live" class="mw-redirect" title="Radio 5 Live">Radio 5 Live</a>. The deal with Sky required the broadcaster to restrict its advertisement breaks to 4 minutes every hour, similar to the Masters.<a href="#cite_note-UKbroadcast-190">[180]</a> Sky also offers complete coverage online through <a href="Now_(Sky)" class="mw-redirect" title="Now (Sky)">NOW</a> to non-subscribers, which is £7.99 for one day, or £12.99 for a weeks access.<a href="#cite_note-191">[181]</a>

<a href="American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a> began broadcasting the Open in 1962, with taped highlights on <a href="Wide_World_of_Sports_(U.S._TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wide World of Sports (U.S. TV series)">Wide World of Sports</a>.<a href="#cite_note-NYT-196">[185]</a> In the pre-digital age the coverage had to be converted from the U.K.'s <a href="PAL" title="PAL">PAL</a> colour encoding system, to the U.S.'s <a href="NTSC" title="NTSC">NTSC</a>, which meant picture quality could be impacted, especially in the early years.<a href="#cite_note-197">[186]</a> The coverage expanded over the years, and as is common in America, there was a different early round rights holder, which was <a href="ESPN" title="ESPN">ESPN</a> until 2003 when <a href="TNT_(U.S._TV_network)" class="mw-redirect" title="TNT (U.S. TV network)">TNT</a> took over.

The Open became the first golf major to be covered exclusively on <a href="Pay_television" title="Pay television">pay television</a> in America, as ESPN left only highlights for its partner broadcast network.

The 2019 edition of the Open Championship had a total of 49 hours of coverage in the United States, with 29 hours being on Thursday and Friday, and 20 hours being on Saturday and Sunday; the Golf Channel cable network had a total of 34 hours of coverage, with 29 hours on Thursday and Friday, and 5 hours on Saturday and Sunday. The NBC broadcast network had a total of 15 hours of coverage on the weekend, with 8 hours Saturday, and 7 hours Sunday. The 49 total hours of coverage on Golf Channel and NBC is down 30 minutes from 2018; the difference is that NBC's Sunday coverage is down 30 minutes, from 7.5 hours in 2018, to 7 hours in 2019.
