Open Championship returns to Carnoustie in 2029

The Open Championship will return to Carnoustie in 2029, for the first time in 11 years.

Scotsman Paul Lawrie won the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999

Francesco Molinari won the 2018 event at the Angus course, which also hosted the last time a Scottish winner took the Claret Jug when Paul Lawrie triumphed in 1999.

Other Carnoustie Open winners include Padraig Harrington (2007), Tom Watson (1975) and Gary Player (1968).

In all, the course has hosted the event eight times since 1931.

New Zealand's Ryan Fox won last year's Open at Royal Birkdale, the 2027 event will be at the Old Course in St Andrews and the 2028 staging will be at Royal Lytham.
