About the British Open

The British Open is the eldest of the Four Major Golf Tournaments and is the third one played during the calendar year. The US Masters takes place in April, the US Open in June and the PGA Championship takes place in August. The Open Championship history is a long and colourful one and has hosted many fantastic Tournaments.

The roll of honour reads like a who's who of golf as will be noted by reading the British Open past results. Of the many mighty battles it is held, there was none better than the 'duel in the sun' played here at Turnberry's inaugural Open in 1977, between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. Check out the match in British Open memories.
