British Open announces 'last-chance qualifier' ahead of 2026 tournament at Royal Birkdale
The R&A announced a series of changes coming to the British Open in 2026, perhaps none more exciting than a winner-take-all "last chance" qualifier. The Open Championship will be at Royal Birkdale in England next year, and this new qualifier will take place on the Monday of tournament week. You like Monday qualifiers, well, here ya go. The R&A, in a statement announcing several fan-centric initiatives, said that the qualifier will be held at Royal Birkdale: The Last-Chance Qualifier on Monday 13 July will generate drama and excitement for fans as up to 12 players chase their dream of playing in The Open by competing over 18 holes of the iconic Southport links to decide who earns the final place in the field ahead of the draw being announced. The R&A also announced the launch of the Heroes Classic in which several past Open champions and special guests will take part "in a short-format challenge" on Tuesday, July 14. Ahead of all this, on Sunday, July 12, 2026, the R&A will have fans gather in the spectator village where on several big screens will be the men's final of Wimbledon and the final round of the PGA Tour's Genesis Scottish Open. Many of the British Open participants compete in the Scottish Open. The R&A says many of these initiatives came about from a fan survey it conducted in which fans said they wanted "more opportunities to watch live golf, celebrate the Championship's unique traditions and enjoy activities which allow them to further engage with the sport onsite." How to get tickets to the 2026 British Open Fans interested in getting tickets to the Open need to first create a free account in the digital membership club dubbed One Club. Go to to do that. Ticket prices range from $40 (£30) for the Sunday, July 12, opening day to $205 (£150) for the Sunday final round in 2026. There were more than 1.2 million ticket applications filed last year for the 2025 Open. Ticket applications for the 2026 Open Championship can be submitted until July 25, 2025.

R&A to host 'last-chance qualifier' on-site at 2026 Open Championship
The R&A announced Monday that, beginning next year, it will host a qualifier for the final spot in the Open Championship field on-site at Royal Birkdale. Responding to a fan survey that said it wanted more live golf, the R&A will debut what it's calling a 'winner-takes-all Last-Chance Qualifier' on Monday of tournament week that will feature up to 12 players competing at Royal Birkdale for a shot to earn the last spot in the field of 156 players. The R&A will also host a Heroes Classic on Tuesday of tournament week that will feature a number of past championships and special guests. The last-chance shootout – similar to a Monday qualifier for regular PGA Tour events – is in addition to the other avenues into The Open. Final qualifying for this year's Open will be held Tuesday at four sites around the United Kingdom. 'We have asked (fans) how we can make their experience of attending The Open even more enjoyable and they have been clear – they want more live golf, more opportunities to engage with the traditions of golf's original championship, and more activities on-site to watch, listen and play,' said Mark Darbon, chief executive of the R&A. 'As a result, we have introduced new features which we believe will elevate The Open for fans, particularly on the days leading up to the championship, providing a memorable experience of attending Royal Birkdale with friends and family next year.'

Timberwolves' Joan Beringer, Rocco Zikarsky attend Minnesota Lynx game
Minnesota Timberwolves rookies Joan Beringer and Rocco Zikarsky attended the WNBA matchup between the Connecticut Sun and Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. Beringer and Zikarsky arrived in Minnesota over the weekend and will be introduced at a press conference on Monday. Before their introduction, they were spotted sitting courtside at the Target Center in custom-made jerseys of the hometown team. The newest members of the Timberwolves watched the Lynx post a dominating 102-63 win over the Sun, improving to 14-2 this season. Napheesa Collier led the Lynx with 23 points and nine rebounds, and Kayla McBride added 20 points and five assists. Beringer was selected with the 17th pick after averaging 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on 64.4% shooting from the field in 64 games with Cedevita Olimpija. The Frenchman scored in double figures 11 times, including a season-high 14 points and 10 rebounds on May 27. Zikarsky, the 45th pick, averaged 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds on 50% shooting from the field this past season. The Australian was limited to 20 games due to a knee injury after playing 29 games in the season prior because of an ankle injury. Beringer and Zikarsky are expected to play in the NBA Summer League with the Timberwolves, beginning on July 10 against the New Orleans Pelicans (3:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN2).
