The Home of Golf plays host to the final Major Championship of the year, the 150th Open Championship and to measure how important this anniversary is, Tiger Woods decided not to play in the US Open so his preparations for The Open wouldn’t be put in jeopardy for this landmark championship.
Only 24 players have ever won the Open Championship at St Andrews and of that number only Bob Martin, JH Taylor, James Braid, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have ever won it twice there and no player has ever won the Claret Jug at the home of golf three times. Now you understand why Tiger is so desperate to get to tee it up at golf’s spiritual home this year.
