The year’s final golf major takes place this week with Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland hosting the 2024 Open Championship, also known as the British Open. While it’s the final major tournament of the year, it’s the 152nd Open Championship in history, as it’s the oldest golf tournament in the world, first contested in 1860.
As is the case with every golf major, outside of the Masters, the Open Championship rotates courses. This will be the 10th time that Royal Troon is the host site, as the last was held at the par-71, 7,385-yard venue in 2016.
