The Open or the British Open, is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf. Held in the United Kingdom, it is administered by The R&A and is the only major outside the United States. The Open is currently the third major of the year, between the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship, and is played in mid-July. The Open was first played on 17 October 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland. The common factor in the venues is links courses.
