British Open Golf Tickets

Golf has been played over the linksland at St Andrews for well over half a millennium, and, while new tees have been built, the Old Course remains essentially unchanged from the days of Old Tom Morris in the mid-to-late 19th century. The double fairways, double greens and natural bunkering combine to produce a set of strategic demands on the golfer which are unmatched and completely unique.

In the course of its 27 Opens, St Andrews has had a habit of throwing up winners who are the best of their generation. Tiger Woods, for example, produced performances in 2000 and 2005 that left him comfortably clear of the field, with victories by eight and five shots respectively. During the 2000 Open, Woods’ 19 under-par total surpassed the mark set by Nick Faldo ten years previously, when, at the height of his powers, the Englishman shot 18 under par to win by five.
