Welcome to our tournament page for the oldest championship in tournament golf -the 2012 British Open Golf Championship.  Royal Lytham & St. Annes is the host course located near Blackpool on the west coast of the English British Isles for the 141st edition of the British Open - the oldest championship in professional golf.  

In 1873 the British Open left Prestwick (Scotland) as the lone host course -to a rotating format giving the St. Andrews Old Course it's first spot in that new rotation of host golf courses.   At that time the R & A and Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers replaced the winners Championship Belt with the Claret Jug -arguably the most coveted trophy in golf today!

Padraig Harrington won the 2007 & 2008 British Opens with Stewart Cink beating Tom Watson in a playoff at Turnberry in 2009. Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa won it at St. Andrews in 2010, with Darren Clarke winning last year at Royal St. Georges and will be defending here in 2012.
