17 - 20 July, 2008, Royal Birkdale.
Royal Birkdale will play host the 2008 Open Championship and Your Golf Travel.com is offering exclusive hospitality and ticket packages to the event. The Open was last held at Royal Birkdale in 1998 when only eventual winner Mark O'Meara and his play-off challenger Brian Watts were able to match par over the four demanding rounds in a typical Open week of gales, rain and sunshine.
The 137th Open Golf Championship will run from 17th-20th July and will be the event's ninth visit to the Lancashire gem. This challenging links course has been the venue of two Ryder Cups, the Walker Cup and the Curtis Cup but so far is the only course in the Open's rotation that has yet to produce a champion from the United Kingdom.

Previous winners of the ancient claret jug at Royal Birkdale include Ian Baker-Finch, Arnold Palmer and Johnny Miller, but most will remember Royal Birkdale as being the venue where Tom Watson and Peter Thomson both won the last of their five titles, thereby establishing themselves as the only players to achieve five wins in the modern era.
The 1998 championship is best remembered for the emergence of a certain 17-year old amateur player, Justin Rose, who scored a record 66 in the second round, matching the lowest amateur round score ever in The Open. By the final day, Rose had become the crowd's favourite, and finished the Championship in a tie for fourth place, his best ever finish in the Open to date.
If this year's Open has anywhere near the excitement as 2007, or the weather of 1998, then it will be a fantastic sporting occasion. The Your Golf Travel.com team looks forward to seeing you up at Royal Birkdale, and is hoping that the course can finally produce a winner from the UK.
