The Open Championship returns to Carnoustie in 2029 after an 11-year absence. The Angus course last hosted the major in 2018, when Francesco Molinari claimed victory. In total, Carnoustie has staged the event eight times since 1931. Other former winners at the venue include Padraig Harrington (2007), Tom Watson (1975) and Gary Player (1968). The 157th Open will be played from 19-22 July, 2029.
New Zealand's Ryan Fox won this year's Open at Royal Birkdale. The 2027 staging will be at the Old Course in St Andrews, and the 2028 event will be at Royal Lytham. Royal & Ancient Club chief executive Mark Darbon commented that Carnoustie is a world-class championship venue where some of golf's greatest players have lifted the Claret Jug. The return will give fans the opportunity to be part of another memorable chapter in the championship's history.
