The Open Championship is the greatest golf tournament of all with the first
championship being held at
Prestwick Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1860.
The following eleven championships were also staged at Prestwick until 1873 when
St Andrews played host. Over the years a number of the other great links courses
in the UK have been added to the Open circuit such as
Muirfield,
Royal Troon,
Carnoustie,
Royal Birkdale and
Turnberry to name but a few.
Up until 1870, golfers used to play for "The Belt" until it was won by Tom
Morris Jnr in three consecutive years from 1868 - 1870 and therefore The Belt
became his property. Now it is the famous Claret Jug that golfers from all over
the world strive to get their hands on and achieve their lifetime dream of
becoming The Open Champion!
