Carnoustie Golf Links has been confirmed as the venue for the 2029 Open Championship, marking a return of golf's oldest major to the historic Scottish links. The announcement was reported by The Independent on November 9, 2026.
The Angus coastline course last hosted The Open in 2018, when Italy's Francesco Molinari claimed the Claret Jug with a two-stroke victory. That triumph made Molinari the first Italian to win a men's major championship.
Carnoustie has staged The Open on eight previous occasions, with its first hosting in 1931. The course is renowned for its challenging layout, particularly the closing stretch known as the "Carnoustie effect" that has tested the game's greatest players across generations.
The 2029 championship will be the 153rd edition of The Open, continuing the rotation among the sport's most storied links venues.
