The Open championship will return to Ayrshire a year later than planned
The event will take place at Royal Troon for the tenth time.
Royal Troon will host The Open golf championship in 2024.
It will be the tenth time the event has been held at the South Ayrshire course.
Organisers made the announcement this morning alongside Royal Liverpool, where the tournament will be played in 2023.
The venues had both originally been scheduled to welcome the championship a year earlier, but the coronavirus pandemic - and the resulting cancellation of the 2020 tournament at Royal St George's - prompted a reshuffle.
Martin Slumbers, Chief Executive of The R&A, said: “We have been working closely with Royal Liverpool and Royal Troon and the relevant local agencies to reschedule the Championships.
“We are grateful to everyone involved at the clubs and at our partner organisations for supporting our plans and showing flexibility to adapt their own schedules. We can now look forward to seeing the world’s best players competing at these outstanding links courses in 2023 and 2024.”
Desmond Bancewicz, Captain of Royal Troon Golf Club, said: “Following the most unusual circumstances this year, affecting all our lives, Royal Troon Golf Club looks forward with eager anticipation in hosting The Open in 2024 for a 10th time and sends their very best wishes to The R&A and Royal St George's Golf Club for 2021.”
The event at Royal Troon will take place between 14th July and 21st July 2024.
