The Open Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2005 Open Champion Tiger Woods holding the Claret Jug.
The Open Championship is the oldest of the four major championships in men's golf. It is sometimes colloquially, but incorrectly, referred to as the British Open - especially in the United States of America - perhaps to avoid confusion with the U.S. Open. Each year the event is hosted by one of several prestigious golf clubs in the United Kingdom; however, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) administers The Open regardless of its site. It is always played on a links course.
The Open Championship is played the weekend of the 3rd Friday in July, and is the third major to take place each year following The Masters and the U.S. Open and before the PGA Championship. It has been an official event on the PGA TOUR since 1995, which means that the prize money won in the Open by PGA Tour members is included on the official money list. In addition, all Open Championships before that date have been retrospectively classified as PGA Tour wins, and the list of leading winners on the PGA Tour has been adjusted to reflect this. The European Tour has recognized The Open as an official event since its first official season in 1972.
