Future British Open locations include Royal Birkdale, Old Course at St. Andrews
Unlike the U.S. Open, which has future locations announced as far out as 2051, or the PGA Championship, which has sites set through 2034, the British Open has a much shorter announced list of future sites.
There are just two future venues on the docket. In January, the 2027 Open site was announced, as the home of golf, St. Andrews, will take a 31st time hosting.
Future British Open venues
The 154th Open will be at this English golf course for the 11th time, the second most behind the Old Course. It last hosted in 2017. Jordan Spieth won the Claret Jug that year. Other recent winners there are Padraig Harrington (2008), Mark O'Meara (1998) and Ian Baker-Finch (1991).
Just five years after its last time hosting, St. Andrews will do so for a 31st time. Cameron Smith won the 2022 Open at the Old Course. Other recent winners there are Zach Johnson (2015), Louis Oosthuizen (2010) and Tiger Woods (2005).

A healthy, rejuvenated Jhonattan Vegas returns to Twin Cities to defend his 3M Open title
Golf is one of the few sports where it's never too late for a career resurgence. The game has seen countless players find success early, stumble along the way, suffer injuries and setbacks, then burst back onto the scene with a win no one was expecting. Does the 2019 Masters ring a bell? Tiger Woods' defeat of father time at Augusta six years ago is certainly the most notable example of a resurgence in golf, but there's another player who's revisiting his own instance of jumpstarting a career that was thought to be sliding away. Jhonattan Vegas is back in Blaine, Minnesota at TPC Twin Cities for the 2025 3M Open, where he enters as the defending champion after a thrilling one-shot victory over Max Greyserman a year ago. Vegas did so while playing on a medical exemption after suffering a shoulder injury that kept him out of competition for nearly the entire 2022-23 season. But he fought back, and now the 40-year-old from Maturin, Venezuela, native gears up for this year's rendition of the 3M Open in an entirely different headspace than a year ago. "Last year, when I was coming back from shoulder surgery and I was just kind of getting back into the grind of things, didn't really have a clue kind of where my game was and how it was developing week after week," Vegas said in his pre-tournament press conference Wednesday. "But obviously, a year later, I feel like I come in a way better position physically, mentally, everything is there just to make a really good run here at the end of the season. Like I said, a lot more focus on playing good golf than just trying to get my body ready to play." The win at the 2024 3M Open, which was his fourth career victory on Tour but his first since 2017, wasn't a flash in the pan. He's followed it up with several solid performances in 2025, including a solo fourth at The Sentry in January and a T-5 at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow — his best career finish in a major by far. Those outings, along with three other top-25 finishes, have him sitting safely inside the top-70 cutoff to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, for now. He's No. 53 in the standings as he tees it up in the Twin Cities. Because of that newly-implemented top 70 threshold, late-season tournaments like the 3M Open are starting to get improved fields due to the fact that more players need points. This week's field includes Chris Gotterup, Wyndham Clark, Rickie Fowler and Haotong Li — who all placed in the top 15 at the Open Championship this past weekend — as well as Adam Scott, Max Homa and Sungjae Im. Not to mention three other past 3M Open winners, Lee Hodges, Cameron Champ and Tony Finau. "I mean, these tournaments are so important right now. I was talking to some other players early on where it doesn't matter where you are in the standings right now, you're always fighting for something," said Vegas, who didn't play in the Open. "[These] few tournaments at the end of the season mean a lot, so it's great to see a great field for a great tournament here, the sponsor deserves it, to have a great field. "And it's fun. Like I said, everyone is ready for the playoffs so we're all pushing with the pedal down and just kind of hoping for a good finish." Unlike most other PGA Tour events where the previous year's champion appears for a media day a few weeks ahead of the tournament, Wednesday was the local media's first look at Vegas since Sunday at the 2024 3M Open. Why? "My dad turned 70 about a month ago, and at the beginning of the year we made a trip for that week to go to Scotland and play golf," Vegas said. "He's never been, he's never played golf over there, so we wanted to give that experience to my dad. Unfortunately, it was the same week as media day, so you know, family first." Vegas tees off in the first round of the 2025 3M Open on Thursday at 1:54 p.m. ET along with Haotong Li and Sam Burns.

Jordan Spieth Makes Personal Announcement Ahead of 2025 Open Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The fourth and final major of the PGA Tour season is set to unfold this coming week at Royal Portrush Golf Club in the United Kingdom, beginning with the first round on Thursday. One familiar name making his return is Jordan Spieth, who was forced to withdraw during the first round of the Travelers Championship three weeks ago due to injury. Spieth, the winner of the 146th Open Championship in 2017, will be back in action at a venue where he's previously seen success. Ahead of this week's tournament, Spieth received some exciting personal news that could provide a boost of motivation. On Sunday morning, he and his wife Annie Verret announced the birth of their third child. Earlier in the week, Spieth had appeared on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, where he shared that the couple was officially on "baby watch." Just days later, the family's newest addition has arrived. "We added a new member to the foursome - Sully Spieth! Everyone is doing great," Spieth posted on Instagram.

Jordan Spieth Turns Heads With Strong Message on Scottie Scheffler at The Open Championship
Jordan Spieth Turns Heads With Strong Message on Scottie Scheffler at The Open Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's become increasingly clear in the golf world that the best player on the planet right now—without much debate—is 29-year-old Scottie Scheffler. For the first time in his career, Scheffler powered his way to an Open Championship victory on Sunday. With the win, he now only needs a U.S. Open title to complete the career Grand Slam. Scheffler already owns two Masters titles and captured the PGA Championship earlier this year. Following the final round, fellow PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth—who has struggled in recent years to find consistent form—shared a candid assessment of Scheffler that quickly drew attention. 'He doesn't care to be a superstar,' Spieth said. 'He's not transcending the game like Tiger [Woods] did. He's not bringing it to a non-golf audience, necessarily. He doesn't want to go do the stuff that a lot of us do—corporate appearances, media, all of that. 'He just wants to get away from the game and separate the two, because I know at one time he felt it was too much, that he was taking it with him. Whenever he made that switch—don't know when it was—I think it's just a different personality from any other superstar in the modern era. I don't think anybody's like him.' Fans had mixed emotions on Spieth's comments: 'Is it just me or is there some jealousy coming through here? I might be wrong but even if asked it's not really his place to comment is it?" A fan said. Another person wrote, "So Jordan I have a great idea. Maybe, just maybe, if you want to win like Scottie does…stop doing 'corporate things?' Just an idea." Someone else added, "Interesting take on Scottie's success." "Can see how it can be seen as sour but I don't think spieth is critical of Scottie here. He's just saying how he's different," one more fan commented. Jordan Spieth found himself hovering just above the cut line after Friday's round. Entering Sunday at one-over par, he closed out the tournament on a high note with a three-under final round to finish tied for 40th at two-under overall. As for Scottie Scheffler, he entered Sunday at 14-under par with a four-shot lead—and never looked back. No competitor truly put any pressure on him throughout the day, and he ultimately finished at 17-under to secure the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
