Scotland, the cradle of golf, once again links together two weeks of historic tournaments.
On Sunday we witnessed the extraordinary victory of Bob MacIntyre in the Scottish Open and this Thursday at Royal Troon – for the 10th time – the British Open will be played
In 2016 the course witnessed one of the most spectacular duels in the history of this tournament. It starred Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson, who broke several records, in an edition of the Open in which Tiger Woods could not be present.
This will be the first time that Tiger has managed to chain together the four majors in one year since he suffered serious injuries to both legs in a car accident in 2021. Reviewing what he has done this year, Woods made the cut at the Masters, although his weekend was catastrophic; then he missed the cut at the PGA Championship and the US Open.
Tiger is now 48 years old and has already indicated that his future lies in the Champions Tour (circuit for the over 50’s), but without ruling out his participation in the future majors of the regular circuit..
