The 157th Open will be played at Carnoustie from 15-22 July 2029.
Golf’s original championship will return to Carnoustie’s world-renowned Championship Course for the ninth time and the first since Francesco Molinari’s memorable victory in 2018.
The Italian joined an illustrious roll of Champion Golfers to have lifted the Claret Jug at the Angus links alongside Tommy Armour, Sir Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Paul Lawrie and Pádraig Harrington.
