The Open is golf's oldest and greatest championship, presenting a timeless challenge to the world's best players that always delivers a memorable spectacle.
It's an event that has its own distinctive feel, sound and look, which makes it a true highlight of the sporting summer.
Royal Birkdale - arguably England's finest links - is the stage for this year's edition, the 154th playing, with the assembled field hoping to follow in the footsteps of Jordan Spieth, Padraig Harrington, Mark O'Meara, Ian Baker-Finch, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Peter Thomson by lifting the iconic Claret Jug here.
And you could be part of the landscape in 2026, experiencing the unique atmosphere of the Open and watching greatness unfold before you.
For golf fans in Britain, attending an Open is a rite of passage, some of you will have been to many, including in your early years, where the seeds of inspiration were planted by watching legendary names deal with the examination of the linksland.
Our travel partners Golfbreaks are renowned for their seasoned Tournaments Team who can take you to some of the biggest showpieces in the game, making that journey seamless, the hours spent there smooth, and they still have a select number of packages available for this summer's Open, which is fast approaching.
