Royal Liverpool was a superb host of the 2023 Open Championship, the 13th time the venue hosted the oldest major in golf.
There are but three future golf courses scheduled to host, with the 152nd playing of the tournament coming in 2024.
The R&A, which runs the Open, calls the tournament “nature’s test of character”, stating on its website:
“Links golf is nature in all its unforgiving force – and The Open is where nature is pitted against the very best of the very best. It’s where champions must set aside what came before. Alone, skill and years of diligent preparation are not enough.”
Take a look at the next three Open Championship host venues.
