Fourteen spectacular links courses across the British Isles have enjoyed the honour of hosting the Open Championship since it was first played in 1860.
But that begs the question, who has won the most Opens at each venue? Read on to find out.
The Open's exclusive home from 1860 to 1872, Prestwick staged the championship 24 times in all, hosting for the final time in 1925.
In the early years of the championship, the father-son duo of Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris won four Opens each.
Willie Park Snr, the very first “champion golfer of the year,” also won four Opens at Prestwick to put his name among the most prolific winners of the event.
The first course other than Prestwick to host the championship, St Andrews has featured some stunning moments.
Bob Martin, J.H. Taylor and James Braid won two Opens each at the Old Course before World War II.
Jack Nicklaus matched that feat with victories in 1970 and 1978 before Tiger Woods (2000 and 2005) joined them.
The name Sir Nick Faldo is synonymous with Muirfield.
The Englishman is the only man to have won two championships at the course, winning his first Open in 1987 and his third in 1992, with a 1990 victory at St Andrews between them.
His 1987 victory, by one shot from Paul Azinger and Rodger Davis, was famously completed with a final round of 18 pars. In 1992, Faldo played what he called “the best four holes of my life” to pip John Cook to the title.
