THE ROYAL AND Ancient has announced that The 155th Open will be played at St Andrews from 11-18 July 2027.
The Championship will return to the home of golf for the first time since a record-breaking 290,000 fans attended The 150th Open in 2022, a historic occasion that culminated in Cameron Smith producing a remarkable final-round 64 over the world-renowned Old Course to lift the famous Claret Jug.
It will mark 100 years since legendary amateur Bobby Jones triumphed in The Open at St Andrews in 1927 when his six-shot margin of victory saw him successfully defend the title he won the previous year at Royal Lytham St Annes.
Absolute legend. Hopefully he gets an amazing reception in the stadium.
Fascinating listening to JT and Murray talking in the podcast about Joe’s ability to find any weakness in a side and exploit it, like 2 of the NZ qtr final tries against us. Should be interesting to see what he picks out in young Sam’s game. A pity winning has to matter so much as it would have been a great learning test to see what he would do against a starting Casey, Izzy, Gus, O’Toole, etc….
Agreed Carmine. Any Aviva crowd owes Joe a big reception. He developed the confidence in our team to challenge the best in the world – at least in the rankings. He gave this entire generation the space & tools to be the best version of themselves. And above all he was always a gentleman.
He should get a brilliant reception and if he doesn’t I’ll be mortified. Got so much to be thankful to him for, instilling that training should be top notch. Was just listening to Ian Madigan on Indo pod, even his description of rucking, ball presentation and walk throughs was super..
