Golf fans will have the chance to watch The British Open at St Andrews in 2027. Popular golf championship will be held in the 'home of golf'.
Mark Darbon, the new executive director of the R&A, said in a press conference that he is excited about the return of The Open to St Andrews, emphasizing the history of this competition and the names that have played on this course since 1873.
Playing at St Andrews is a special feeling for all golfers, as well as fans, who know the importance of this course.
I'm looking forward to the Opens return to St Andrews every bit as much as the fans and the players, Darbon said, as quoted by Nine.
There is something incredibly special about the Open being played on the Old Course and so many of the great champions have walked these fairways since the first staging here in 1873.
Tiger Woods
As we have already pointed out, the popular names of this sport left their mark playing at St Andrews, and of course Tiger Woods always attracted the most attention. The 48-year-old golfer celebrated on this course in 2000, becoming the youngest player to complete the Grand Slam.
Tiger once admitted that it was his favorite course.
The question is whether the legendary Woods will play again at St Andrews, given that he will be 51 years old, but it is certain that we can expect a performance from him. Injuries will be an important factor in the whole story.
The return to St Andrews will also attract fans who already broke records in 2022. Namely, there were as many as 290,000 spectators at The Open.
The question is whether we can expect the same interest in a few years, but we have no doubt that the fans of this sport are hungry to watch the stars of golf again at such a prestigious tournament and prestigious course.
It's hard to say how much we'll see of the legendary golfer this year, especially when we know that injuries have been ruining his plans for years. His desire and passion are still there, but not everything depends on that.Tiger is primarily focused on TGL, a project he started together with McIlroy and the PGA Tour, wanting to turn a new leaf in the history of golf. He's doing well so far, we have to admit.
