The Open, the oldest of the men's four major championships, will be contested in 2018 (July 19-22) on The Championship Course at Carnoustie Golf Links, where golf has been played for more than four centuries. Carnoustie has hosted The Open eight times, first in 1931 and, most recently in 2007, which was highlighted by the playoff duel between Sergio Garcia and eventual "Champion Golfer of the Year" Padraig Harrington. The 2017 Open will take place at Royal Birkdale on the northwest coast of England, July 20-23, where the "Champion Golfer of the Year" will take home the Claret Jug, one of the oldest trophies in all of sport. Golf Channel and NBC has exclusive television coverage of The Open through 2028.
