British Open to return to Royal Lytham in 2028 as Trump’s Turnberry course made to wait
The 2028 event will be the course’s 12th Open, and organisers said limited crowd capacity will keep attendance below other recent venues.
- On Monday, the R&A announced that Royal Lytham & St Annes will host the 2028 Open Championship, with the 156th edition scheduled for August 3 to August 6 to avoid clashing with the Los Angeles Olympics.
- The Lancashire venue last hosted the tournament in 2012, when South Africa's Ernie Els won his second Claret Jug; this marks the 12th time the historic links, which first held the championship in 1926, will welcome the event.
- R&A Chief Executive Mark Darbon praised the venue, stating, "Royal Lytham & St Annes is widely renowned as one of the world's finest links courses," though organizers noted attendance will be lower than recent Opens due to limited site capacity.
- Infrastructure concerns mean the R&A continues to exclude Turnberry, owned by President Donald Trump, and Muirfield, despite ongoing dialogues with both venues regarding logistical challenges.
- This year's Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club will welcome a record-breaking 300,000 attendees, while Darbon expressed cautious optimism about staging future championships at Portmarnock in Ireland by summer's end.
