Should the 152nd British Open go to a playoff, its combatants will see quite a bit more of Royal Troon.
The Open uses a four-hole aggregate playoff format, the longest of all the majors. At Royal Troon, if needed, those holes will be the 1st, 2nd, 17th and 18th. Lowest score over the four holes wins, and if there’s a tie after that a sudden-death format is used.
