Carnoustie Golf Club in Scotland has been announced as the host venue for the 2029 Open Championship, marking the historic links course's return to the major championship rotation. The R&A confirmed the selection on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The Angus coastline venue last staged golf's oldest major in 2018, when Italy's Francesco Molinari claimed the Claret Jug with a two-stroke victory. Carnoustie has hosted The Open on eight previous occasions, with champions including Ben Hogan (1953), Gary Player (1968), Tom Watson (1975), Paul Lawrie (1999), and Padraig Harrington (2007).
Known for its demanding layout and unpredictable weather, Carnoustie is widely regarded as one of the sternest tests in championship golf. The 2029 edition will be the 153rd playing of The Open Championship.
