The Open Championship will return to Carnoustie Golf Links in 2029, the R&A has announced. The historic Scottish venue last hosted golf's oldest major in 2018, when Francesco Molinari claimed the Claret Jug.
Carnoustie has staged the Open eight times since 1931. Scotsman Paul Lawrie won the championship there in 1999, securing a dramatic playoff victory over Justin Leonard and Jean van de Velde. The course is renowned for its challenging layout, particularly the closing stretch known as the "Carnoustie effect."
The 2029 edition will mark the ninth Open at Carnoustie. The R&A typically rotates the championship among a select group of links courses in the UK, with St Andrews, Royal Troon, Royal Birkdale, and Royal Liverpool among the other regular venues.
