The
British Open, also known as The Open Championship, will take place at the Royal
Portrush courtyard from July 18-21, 2019.
The
148th Open Royal Portrush 18th Hero
The
Open Championship is the major tournament with the oldest history of all the
four largest professional golf events of the year. This will be the 148th
tournament organized by The R&A (The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St
Andrews).
Traditionally,
The Open is the third major award of the year to be held in mid-July, but since
2019, this will be the final tournament. Because before that, the PGA
Championship left the schedule from August to May.
History of The Open Champiosnhip
The
Open was first held in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, Scotland. The prize is
always held in the UK and is the only major outside the United States.
The
feature of the tournament is held in the fields adjacent to the beach (links
course). These yards often bring a lot of challenges to the golfer by the harsh
weather conditions.
The
2019 Open will return to Royal Portrush after being first held 68 years ago, in
1951.
Players
from the United States lead the way with 44 league titles, the second is
Scottland with 41 times, and the third is England with 22 times.
