On 17th October 1860, The Open was born and it has been quite a journey for golf’s original championship, from humble beginnings to one of the world’s leading sports events.
In July 2022, The 150th Open will be played over the Old Course in St Andrews and fans can now guarantee their place as hospitality packages go on general sale.
The R&A has already experienced exceptional demand for Origins Hospitality, The Open’s official hospitality experiences, from members of The One Club and past purchasers during its pre-sale window, with a high number of packages having already sold out.
Remaining hospitality experiences are now available for fans and can be purchased from TheOpen.com.
Brett Tonkyn, Head of Hospitality at The R&A, said, “We recognise it has been a very challenging year for our fans around the world and we are delighted to give them something to look forward to.
The 150th Open promises to be an unmissable event in the global sporting calendar and we have seen a real sense of urgency among fans to make sure they are part of this special occasion at the Home of Golf.
“Our official hospitality packages will provide fans with a magnificent setting to enjoy and celebrate this historic Championship and we are encouraging those fans wanting to experience The 150th Open in this unique way to act fast to secure their place at St Andrews.”
Marking a true celebration of golf’s original championship and its historic ties to St Andrews, The 150th Open will be the 30th time that it has been played over the world-renowned Old Course where a number of the greatest names in golf have lifted the famous Claret Jug.
Origins Hospitality at The Open currently offers four premium experiences for fans to enjoy: Champions, Engravers, Clubmakers and Scorers. Their roles are central to the heritage and rich tradition of the Championship and these unique experiences deliver world-class hospitality, with all the comfort and safety guests would expect.
Prices range from £250 + VAT per person and Origins Hospitality is the only way for fans to guarantee attendance at The 150th Open with tickets yet to be released.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
