"Must be the British noise" - $50M-worth PGAT veteran details The Open Championship's 'unique' atmosphere

Australian golfer Adam Scott opened up about the unique atmosphere of The Open Championship. Players are gearing up for the final Major of the year, which is scheduled to take place next week, and ahead of that, Golf.com shared a short clip of Scott on its Instagram account from his interview with golf analyst Claire Rogers on The Scoop.

Adam Scott opened up about why it is special to compete at The Open Championship and the crowd. He said:

"Even the noise the crowd makes. It must be the British noise, I don't know what it is, but it's such a great atmosphere. And a lot of times over my career, I go the week before and I spend the whole week there — the week before playing The Open Championship course.

He further talked about playing at St Andrews a week before the actual event. He added:

"And like, those weeks are some of my favourite weeks because I'm playing the Open Championship course, it is closed. I'm the only person playing, a lot of the time, like at St Andrews the week before. There's no one on the course. It is really — that is really one of the perks of playing as a pro golfer. I don't know why more guys don't do it, but I've loved those weeks and getting to stay in the towns. St Andrews is special, but all the towns where the Opens are are great fun."

The Open Championship 2025 is scheduled to take place from July 17 to 20, and prior to that, the DP World Tour and PGA Tour players are playing this week at the Genesis Scottish Open. Adam Scott, who has a net worth of $50 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), has had a decent start to his game this week.
