The Open returns to Royal Birkdale for the first time since 2017, and there have been a number of changes to the course and its layout that fans will get to see for the first time in the 154th edition of golf's oldest Major.
Work was conducted by renowned architects Mackenzie and Ebert, who, along with the club, were seeking to take the course to the next level. Birkdale ranks 6th in Golf Monthly's Top 100 Courses list and is considered to be the best golf course in England.
