Open Championship

Royal Birkdale Golf Club
Southport, Merseyside  England

The history of The Open, the world’s oldest golf championship, comes vividly to life in this exclusive timeline of dramatic images and video clips. It captures the growth of the Championship from the first event at Prestwick in 1860, when eight players challenged for the title over three rounds of the 12-hole course, to the pulsating climax of the latest modern contest.

The champions and the dramatic events that led to their victories are presented decade by decade through well over a century of fascinating action.

The Open Championship 2005 at St Andrews will be the 27th time the event has been played over the Old Course since it first moved away from Prestwick in 1873. The course has been lengthened with the creation of new championship tees since Tiger Woods won the Millennium Open with a record 19-under-par score of 269.
