Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland will host the 2024 Senior Open Championship, event organizers announced Tuesday.
Carnoustie has hosted the Senior Open twice before, in 2010 (won by Bernhard Langer of Germany) and 2016 (won by Paul Broadhurst of England).
The course, often called “Golf’s Greatest Test,” has also hosted the Open Championship eight times, most recently in 2018, and the Women’s British Open twice.
“We have witnessed some historic moments during our past visits to Carnoustie, none more so than Bernhard Langer’s first senior major triumph in 2010, which as we now know has led him to become the most prolific player in the history of senior major championships,” championship director Edward Kitson said in a statement.
“We are grateful to our partners at The R&A, PGA Tour Champions, Rolex, Carnoustie Golf Links and VisitScotland for their support in bringing this championship back to Scotland.”
This year’s edition of the major will be contested July 27-30 at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales. Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland is the defending champion.
