With its history and traditions, there is something completely unique about playing in the Open Championship. Now turn it up to 11 and you’ll have the feeling of anticipation for being a participant in the 150th Open taking place in St. Andrews.

The R&A have been planning the championship for years. When the pandemic forced the 2020 Open to be cancelled, officials juggled the schedule to ensure the 150th would still take place at the House of Golf, even if it came a year later than originally planned.
The R&A received more than 1.3 million ticket applications and a record 290,000 fans are expected to attend during the week of July 10-17, surpassing the previous mark set at the 2000 Open.
To be a golfer on the course there were 41 different criteria for entry with three places still up for grabs next weekend at the Scottish Open and a further three at the Barbasol Championship.
