The Open Championship, one of golf's most prestigious major tournaments, is scheduled to be held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England, in July 2026. A preview guide for the event is now available for purchase, offering fans insights into the course, players, and history.
Royal Birkdale has hosted The Open ten times previously, most recently in 2017 when Jordan Spieth claimed the Claret Jug. The 2026 edition marks the 11th time the course will host the championship, continuing its tradition as a regular venue in the rotation.
The preview guide, available through official channels, includes details on ticket information, course layout changes, and player storylines leading up to the tournament.
