Golf adventurer Luke Willett is set to complete his ‘Marathons of Golf’ grand challenge this Sunday July 3 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, ahead of the venue hosting The Open in 2023.

Willett, known as The Iron Golfer and a leading UK speed golfer, cyclist, multiple marathon runner, PGA Professional golfer and coach has so far this year played rapid speed golf rounds at 13 of golf’s 14 venues for The Open.

On each occasion Willett, after attempting to complete his round as quickly as possible, then takes to the streets to run, up to a marathon in length, around every ‘Open venue’ town, meeting the public and aiming to spread positivity about the historic championship, while inspiring his followers on Instagram [@lukewillettgolf] to think a little differently about the game.
