About The Open Championship

The Open Championship is men’s professional golf’s original championship and one of the sport’s four majors, first played in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland. Held annually in mid-to-late July and concluding on the third Sunday in July, The Open is organized by The R&A and staged on a rotating rota of historic links courses in the United Kingdom, including venues such as St Andrews, Royal Troon, Royal Liverpool, Carnoustie, Royal St George’s, Royal Portrush, Muirfield, and Royal Birkdale. It’s also the only major contested exclusively on links courses—where coastal terrain, pot bunkers, and fast-running ground are part of the challenge.

The championship is contested as 72-hole stroke play over four days (Thursday through Sunday) with a 156-player field. After 36 holes, the cut reduces the field to the low 70 players and ties, and the lowest aggregate score over 72 holes wins; ties for the lead are settled by a three-hole aggregate playoff. Along with a multi-million-dollar purse that has reached around $17 million in recent editions (with a champion’s share of roughly $3.1 million), the winner earns the title “Champion Golfer of the Year” and custody of the Claret Jug (officially the Golf Champion Trophy). The Open also awards major ranking benefits, including significant Official World Golf Ranking points and FedEx Cup points, plus multi-year exemptions into future majors and tours.

The Open’s history is packed with famous champions and defining moments—from Harry Vardon’s record six titles to iconic storylines like Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry in 1977, Tiger Woods’ St Andrews wins, and Henrik Stenson’s championship scoring record of 268 at Royal Troon in 2016. Recent champions and contenders include Rory McIlroy (2014), Collin Morikawa (2021), Cameron Smith (2022), Brian Harman (2023), and Xander Schauffele (2024). With knowledgeable galleries and big grandstand complexes around marquee holes, attending in person is a bucket-list golf experience—so if you’re planning to attend The Open Championship, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do The Open Championship Tickets Cost?

The Open Championship tickets typically range from around £90 to £150 for a single championship day general admission ticket to several hundred to well over £1,000+ per person per day for premium hospitality packages, with premium packages running higher.

Several factors can influence what you’ll pay. Weekend rounds (especially Sunday’s final round) tend to be in the highest demand, and editions staged at especially prestigious host venues—such as St Andrews—can draw peak interest. Pricing can also move based on marquee contenders in the field, how close it is to tournament week, and whether you’re choosing hospitality access versus grounds admission.

The Open Championship Seating and Course Information

Because The Open Championship rotates among a defined set of historic links venues, the exact viewing areas and grandstand placements vary by host course. In general, links layouts offer a classic walk-the-grounds experience, with temporary grandstands added at key spots—especially around famous holes and finishing areas—to create premium viewpoints and a true major-championship atmosphere.

Best Ways to Experience The Open Championship

The right access depends on what kind of tournament day experience you're after:

• Best value: General grounds admission — walk the course, follow groups, and take advantage of standing/first-come grandstand seating at a lower price point
• Closest to the action: Grounds access near marquee par-3s and featured holes — post up early and feel how quickly conditions can change on links turf
• Best overall view: Grandstands near the 18th green — prime sightlines for closing-hole drama and late-round momentum swings
• For groups and premium experiences: Hospitality options like the Champions Club and 1860 Club — enhanced comfort, dining, and dedicated viewing areas for a premium day on the links

Getting Ready for The Open Championship Tournament Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially with coastal links weather, long walks across the course, and early starts.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on tournament days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Plan your transportation in advance. The Open typically uses organized shuttle and park-and-ride services and nearby rail connections, with official transport emphasized due to limited local access at coastal course sites.
• Parking often requires planning. Official park-and-ride and on-site/nearby parking are commonly provided and generally require advance booking, with lots opening ahead of gate times.
• Plan your rideshare pickup point. Designated drop-off and pickup zones are typically arranged near course entrances and park-and-ride hubs, and post-event pickups can take longer than expected.
• Check the bag policy before you go so there are no surprises at the entrance. A bag policy is enforced, with size limits and searches; one small soft bag per person is typically permitted, while larger bags and hard-sided coolers are prohibited.
• Bring a card or mobile payment — many vendors are cashless. The Open operates as a cashless event with card and mobile payments accepted across concessions and merchandise.
• Pack for links conditions. Bring waterproof/rain gear, layers, comfortable walking shoes, and sun protection, and carry items in a permitted small bag.
