Match Preview
The 155th Open returns to the Old Course at St Andrews from 11 to 18 July 2027, bringing golf’s oldest and most venerated major championship back to the home of golf for another week of extraordinary sporting theatre. St Andrews is the game’s most sacred venue, a links course played continuously since the fifteenth century whose history, infrastructure and atmosphere are unique in world sport, and The Open at St Andrews produces some of the most compelling tournament coverage of any major sporting week in the calendar. The Old Course experience — the famous Swilcan Bridge, the Road Hole at the seventeenth, the broad expanse of the shared fairways — is unlike anything in any other sport, and watching the world’s best golfers navigate it under Open conditions at the home of golf is genuinely one of sport’s greatest live experiences. Edinburgh Airport is 55 miles from St Andrews and the city is easily reached by air in 90 minutes from London, or by train via Edinburgh in under six hours from King’s Cross. Accommodation in St Andrews and surrounding Fife fills extraordinarily quickly for Open week and should be booked at the earliest opportunity. The Open ticket ballot is open to One Club members and premium hospitality packages remain available for those seeking the full St Andrews experience. For London fans this is one of the rare occasions where the journey is unquestionably worth every minute — a week at the home of golf during The Open Championship.
