R&A Made Open Championship 2026 Announcement
—
Major Announcement Made About Open Championship 2026 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Golf’s most anticipated major, The Open Championship, is all set to return from July 17-20, 2025, at the iconic Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Fans are already buzzing about the drama and history the event brings each year, and this time, it might be even more special. With Rory McIlroy chasing a Grand Slam and Xander Schauffele returning as defending champion, Portrush will be electric.
But while 2025 is shaping up to be thrilling, eyes are already turning to 2026, when The Open heads back to Royal Birkdale. Why? Because the R&A just dropped a game-changing update: a Last Chance Qualifier will debut on the Monday of Open week at Birkdale.
