The R&A has announced that Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland will host the 2029 Open Championship. The historic links course, which has previously staged the championship eight times, will welcome the world's best golfers for the 153rd edition of golf's oldest major.
Carnoustie last hosted The Open in 2018, when Francesco Molinari claimed victory. The Angus coastline venue is renowned for its challenging layout, particularly the closing stretch known as the "Carnoustie effect" that has tested champions throughout the tournament's history.
The announcement was made on November 9, 2026, confirming the rotation of Open venues continues to feature the championship's most storied links courses. Carnoustie first hosted The Open in 1931 and has been the site of memorable victories by champions including Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tom Watson, and Paul Lawrie.
