Royal Birkdale, established in 1889, continues its storied legacy as it prepares to host The Open 2026. This will mark the 11th occasion since 1954 that the course has held the prestigious championship, with the most recent prior hosting in 2017.
Ahead of the tournament, the course has undergone significant updates, including the introduction of three new holes: a rebuilt seventh hole and entirely new 14th and 15th holes. These additions aim to enhance the layout while maintaining the challenge that defines Royal Birkdale.
Situated along the Irish Sea in Southport, England, the course offers a scenic yet demanding test for players, with coastal winds expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the competition. The venue promises an engaging experience for both on-site spectators and those following via broadcast.
