Open week may only be a month away, but details of how to secure your tickets to attend the 152nd Open at Royal Troon in 2024 have already been released. With The R&A anticipating a high level of demand from fans, you’re advised to put this date in your diary.

The ticket ballot will be available exclusively to members of The One Club, the free-to-join membership programme. The sign-up process is simple: visit TheOpen.com and you will be among the first to be notified when the ballot is open.
Martin Slumbers, CEO of The R&A, said: “The Open is a real highlight in the global sporting calendar which golf and sports fans everywhere look forward to enormously.
