The fourth and final major golf championship of the year is on the horizon.
The 152nd Open Championship tees off Thursday at the Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland for the 10th time. The Open Championship, commonly referred to as the British Open, is the oldest golf tournament in the world and was first held in 1860.
Royal Troon Golf Club first hosted the Open Championship in 1923, when English golfer Arthur Havers defeated American Walter Hagen by one stroke.
Royal Troon went on to host the Open eight more times, most recently in 2016, when Sweden's Henrik Stenson defeated Phil Mickelson by three strokes to win his first and only major title.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 British Open and the Royal Troon Golf Club:
The 152nd Open Championship will take place July 18-21 at Royal Troon in Scotland.
The Open Championship will be held at the Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland, a course that was established in 1878.
It is 7,385 yards and is par 71, 36 on the front nine and 35 on the back nine.
The par-5 sixth hole is 623 yards. According to The Open, it's 22 yards longer than when the tournament was last played at Royal Troon in 2016 and is the longest hole in Open history.
Royal Troon features the famous eighth hole named the "Postage Stamp." The Par-3, 123-yard hole is considered "the shortest hole in Open Championship golf," according to Royal Troon. The eighth hole is small but mighty: Five bunkers surround the green.
The course has previously hosted the tournament in 1923, 1950, 1962, 1973, 1982, 1989, 1997, 2004 and 2016.
