In 2029 The Open will return to Carnoustie for the ninth time. Golf has been played on the Angus links since the early 16th century, and in that time the setting has earned reputation as one of the toughest courses in the world. Iconic Champion Golfers including Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Tom Watson are among those to have claimed the Claret Jug at Carnoustie, and The 157th Open will represent the first Championship at the venue since Francesco Molinari's stunning victory in 2018.
