Celebrating The Open’s 150-Year Journey

This official book, produced in partnership with The R&A at St Andrews, marks the 150th Open with a richly detailed narrative history. From Prestwick’s rough-hewn greens in 1860 to the modern championship stages, the journey unfolds with care, context, and a sense of place that golf fans will recognize and savor.

Readers are invited into the sport’s living story, where the people who shape The Open — from caddies and greenkeepers to club officials and championship volunteers — emerge through candid profiles, firsthand recollections, and archival imagery. The result is a book that feels both grand in scope and intimate in mood, capturing the atmosphere that makes a tournament memorable long after the last putt drops.
