Justin Rose

Justin Rose is set to return to Royal Birkdale in July, the venue he announced himself to the golfing world as a 17-year-old amateur in 1998.

In his Open debut, Rose holed out from distance to earn fourth place and claim the Silver Medal for low amateur.

In the years since he has finished T2 at golf's original championship twice. He narrowly missed out on the Claret Jug at The 152nd Open having left it late to book his place. He ended the week sharing second place, two strokes behind Champion Golfer Xander Schauffele.

His previous tie for second came at Carnoustie in the 2018 Championship – and that after surviving the halfway cut with nothing to spare.

In the decades since his arrival at Birkdale, Rose has celebrated victory in the US Open at Merion, where he beat Phil Mickelson and Jason Day by two, an Olympic gold medal, and five Ryder Cup victories. There were also five spells as world number one and he was the DP World Tour number one in 2007.

He has won two World Golf Championships – the Cadillac Championship in 2012 and the 2017 HSBC Champions.

No English golfer has racked up more victories on the PGA TOUR than Rose's 13 – the most recent coming in record-breaking fashion at the Farmers Insurance Open in February. He also has 11 wins on the DP World Tour.

He finished T3 at the Masters in April 2026, 12 months after missing out to Rory McIlroy in a dramatic play-off.

In 2025 he came from seven strokes behind on the final day, and was close to claiming his second major title, before ultimately losing out to McIlroy's play-off birdie and finishing in second place at Augusta for the third time.

Rose has also secured third-place finishes in both the US Open and PGA Championship.
