Open Golf Championship is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf. It is the only major held outside the USA and is administered by The R&A, which is the governing body of golf outside the USA and Mexico. Open Golf Championship is played on the weekend of the third Friday in July. It is the third major to take place each year, following The Masters and the U.S. Open, but before the PGA Championship.
The event takes place every year in Scotland or England. Open Golf Championship was first played on 17 October, 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire, Scotland. The inaugural tournament was restricted to professionals, and attracted a field of eight Scottish golfers, who played three rounds of Prestwick's twelve-hole course in a single day. Willie Park Senior won with a score of 174, beating the favourite, Old Tom Morris, by two strokes.
In 1995, Open Golf Championship became part of the PGA Tour's official schedule. Tiger Woods has won three Championships to date, two at St Andrews in 2000 and 2005, and one at Hoylake in 2006. The current champion is Louis Oosthuizen who won the 2010 Open Championship with a score of 16 under par.
The trophy presented to the event's winner was the Champion's Belt, a red leather belt with a silver buckle. There was no prize money in the first three Opens. In 1863, a prize fund of £10 was introduced, which was shared between the second- third- and fourth-placed professionals, with the Champion still just getting to keep the belt for a year. In 1864 Old Tom Morris won the first Champion's cash prize of £6. By 2004, the winner's cheque had increased one hundred and twenty thousandfold to £720,000, or perhaps two thousandfold after allowing for inflation. The Champions Belt was retired in 1870, when Young Tom Morris was allowed to keep it for winning the tournament three consecutive times. It was then replaced by the present trophy, The Open Golf Champion Trophy, better known by its popular name of The Claret Jug.
Open Golf Championship 2010, the US Open, began on June 17 and ended on June 20. This was the fifth US Open to be played at Pebble Beach Golf Links, and the first since 2000. The Championship was won by Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland. He became the first European to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
