We’re rolling into the final men’s major championship of the season as the world’s best will head to Royal Troon in the United Kingdom for the 2024 Open.
What will it be like when the players walk through the tunnel at the first tee?
Our Eamon Lynch walked the grounds today and took a quick tour.

Less than a decade ago, back in 2016, Royal Troon hosted the 145th edition of The Open which featured a duel between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson. Stenson would go on to win by three shots at 20 under.
The view players have on their opening tee shot at Royal Troon. I could deplete the entire stock reserves of Titleist from here. pic.twitter.com/zjkTkFGP9D

The opening hole, named Seal, is a par 4 playing 370 yards for the championship. Here’s a flyover.
Royal Troon is ranked 23rd on Golfweek’s Best Top 50 Classic Courses in Great Britain and Ireland. This marks the 10th time the event will be held on the course.
