The 150th Open Championship is almost upon us, but as St Andrews gets ready to host the final Major of 2022, plans are already in place for the next three years’ Opens.
Next year, Royal Liverpool is set to host the 151st Open, before Royal Troon hosts the 152nd in 2024, and Royal Portrush hosts the 153rd Open in 2025.
151st Open Championship – Royal Liverpool (July 16-23, 2023)
The Open heads to Hoylake on the Wirral in the north west of England for the 13th time in 2023. The last time Royal Liverpool hosted was in 2014, when Rory MrIlroy won his first and so far only Claret Jug. Tiger Woods won the third of his three Opens at Royal Liverpool in 2006, defending the title he’d won at St Andrews a year earlier.
