The Open Championship Handbook

👋 Hey There,
We’re sad. It’s the final major week of the year. The Open will mark the end of the last major for 2025 in golf. But before we wallow, let’s focus on the next week of pure links drama that is to come. To catch you up, we’re back with your exclusive guide.
Our Open Championship 101 Handbook is full of the history and facts about the oldest major in golf… like did you know that, despite The Open being the only golf major played in Europe, only three of the last ten winners have been from there? And the last was Shane Lowry (2019). He did celebrate like a true Irishman, though, as you’ll see here.
More interesting tidbits like that, historic facts, and important details for 2025 are in our guide below.
And yes, don’t worry. We’ll have your double round coverage too this week. One, updating you on the progress as soon as you wake up, and the other, keeping you posted after every round!
See you soon in your inbox.
