The R&A has confirmed that Carnoustie in Angus, Scotland, will host the 157th Open in 2029. Francesco Molinari won the last Open held at the course in 2018.
The R&A’s announcement lists 15–22 July 2029 for the championship. BBC Sport gives the dates as 19–22 July 2029.
It will be the ninth Open at Carnoustie, which has hosted the championship eight times since 1931. Scottish golfer Paul Lawrie won there in 1999.
The R&A chief executive Mark Darbon called Carnoustie a world-class championship venue. He said The R&A had worked with Carnoustie so its planned improvements would support future Opens and the experience of players, fans and partners.
Carnoustie Golf Links chief operating officer Ross Blackadder said investment in the course, facilities and visitor experience reflected its ambition to host the championship regularly and benefit the wider region. Angus Council leader George Meechan said the council had made changes to secure the return and would work with partners to make the event work well for local residents and businesses.
