It's St Andrews for the 155th British Open Golf Championship

Scottish venue will be celebrating a century since Bobby Jones shook the world.

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.

    I don’t get the hype around St Andrews. There are much better tests worthy of holding the Open. Carnage on a golf course by a professional is far more entertaining to watch than a 20 under par winning score.

    @Paul Linehan: yes but it’s the most recognisable golf course in the world, not only synonymous with the home of golf, it’s also the home of the R&A. St. Andrews will always be on the rota even more frequently than the others.

    @Paul Linehan: . If the wind doesn’t blow it’ll take at least -20 to win. The course is too short for the top professionals of today.

    @Paul Linehan: your point is valid but if you visit the place and play there you will get the hype.
