Scottie Scheffler receives the Claret Jug after winning The Open and voices his gratitude for Royal Portrush and all the support during the week. Oh, and Bennett Scheffler makes an appearance.

The 154th Open Championship will head back to Royal Birkdale, where Jordan Spieth was victorious in 2017.

Unlike with the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, future Open Championships are not publicly identified several years in advance. The R&A has announced its next two venues beyond this year (click here for all past champions):

2027: The Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland

  • The venue, the Home of Golf, has hosted 30 previous Opens, most recently in 2022, won by Cameron Smith.

2028: Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Lancashire, England

  • The venue has hosted 12 previous Opens, most recently in 2012, won by Ernie Els.

The R&A employs a course rotation that currently includes: Royal Portrush, Royal Birkdale, the Old Course at St. Andrews, Royal Troon, Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Royal St. George’s, Muirfield, Carnoustie and Royal Liverpool.
