Open Championship History

The first Open Championship was hosted at Scotland’s Prestwick Golf Club in October of 1960. The event attracted a field of only 8 professional golfers, who played all three rounds of the tournament in a single day. Willie Park Senior emerged as the first Open Championship winner, earning a red belt with a silver buckle for his efforts.

The Prestwick Golf Club hosted the event for the first decade of its existence, before an agreement was reached to co-host the tournament with St. Andrews Golf Club and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.

The Open Championship was dominated by Scottish golfers during the early part of its history, with Walter Hagen being the first American to win the event in 1922. It was not until the 1960s that the Open Championship came to be considered as one of the Majors, when Arnold Palmer began taking part in the event on a regular basis.

Open Championship Winners

Although a number of modern golfers, including Tiger Woods, have made their mark on the Open Championship, it is a trio of players from the 1960s and 1970s who are remembered as the greatest Open Championship winners.

Between 1960 and 1978 the trio of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer won the Open Championship eight times between the three of them, thereby massively boosting the importance and profile of the event.
