The 150th British Open will be played on the Old Course at St Andrews, tournament organisers announced Monday. Situated in the seaside town of the same name, northeast of Edinburgh, St Andrews is known as the 'home of golf'.
The 2021 edition of the British Open - the only major championship played outside the United States - will be the 30th staged at St Andrews and take place from July 15-18. "The Open holds a very special place in the hearts of golf and sports fans around the world," said Martin Slumbers, chief executive of organisers the Royal and Ancient Club (R&A).
"The Championship enjoys a historic and celebrated relationship with the Old Course in St Andrews and we are excited to be marking the occasion of the 150th Championship at the home of golf in 2021," he added.
