The Open Championship will be hosted at Carnoustie in Scotland in 2029, its ninth time there since 1931.

The Open Championship will be hosted at Carnoustie in Scotland in 2029, the first time the course has held the event since Francesco Molinari's victory in 2018. The tournament will take place from July 15-22, 2029, and will be the ninth time Carnoustie has hosted the championship since 1931.

Scotland's First Minister John Swinney visited Carnoustie Golf Course to mark the announcement, calling it a 'huge economic boost' for the region. He said: 'I'm absolutely delighted that The Open in 2029 is going to be hosted at Carnoustie Links.' Swinney highlighted the partnership between The R&A, the Scottish Government, Visit Scotland and Angus Council, and said Scotland's position as the home of golf made it an 'appropriate decision'.

The Royal & Ancient Club will organise the event in collaboration with the Scottish Government and Visit Scotland. The R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said Carnoustie is a 'world-class championship venue' where some of golf's greatest players have won. Other notable winners at the course include Paul Lawrie in 1999, Padraig Harrington in 2007, Tom Watson in 1975 and Gary Player in 1968.
