One of the most anticipated golf tournaments of the year, the Open Championship or the British Open, is around the corner. Though it originally started in Scotland, at the Prestwick Golf Club in 1860, soon after that, the R&A made a change, and a small selection of British seaside links golf clubs took turns hosting the event.
The Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, and US Open are the other three major golf championships for men. The Open Championship is one of them. Since the PGA Championship was rescheduled for May, the Open became the fourth and last major event. It takes place in mid-July.
The Open is a tournament, as the name suggests, it's open for professional and amateur golfers who compete on the same greens! Unlike other tournaments, where professionals and amateurs compete differently. The current event is a professional competition in which a select group of elite amateurs worldwide participate by invitation or qualifying! This is one of those elite golf tournaments everyone wants to be a part of, either by being on the greens competing or being one of the spectators enjoying the best golfers competing against each other.
How to secure The Open 2024 tickets?
Since it's in such high demand, the tickets for the Open Championship sell off quickly; here are the different kinds of tickets you might buy.

Together, they satisfy all tastes and price ranges.
The Medallists.

Scorers Premium

Priced at £650 per person, securing the scorer's premium is a dream for golf lovers! Spectators get to enjoy the tournament and have a private table of their own throughout the day while they enjoy watching their favourite golfers tee off.
Scorers:
