Royal Troon to Host 152nd Open Championship

The Royal Troon Golf Club, which will host the 2024 Open Championship, is renowned for its historic and challenging course, notably the par-3 eighth hole known as the 'Postage Stamp.' This hole, despite being only 123 yards long, demands precision and has a legacy of testing even the best golfers, as highlighted by memorable performances and mishaps from legends like Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. With the golf world converging on Royal Troon for the 152nd Open Championship, Justin Rose, a former U.S. Open champion, is making a strong bid for his first British Open title, emphasizing his long-time dream and the challenging conditions at Troon. The club's storied history includes epic duels, such as the 2016 showdown between Henrik Stenson and Mickelson, and iconic wins dating back to Arthur Havers in 1923. Tom Weiskopf's 1973 victory at Troon also marked a significant milestone in his career, further solidifying the club's reputation in golf lore.
