The Open is the oldest and most prestigious tournament in golf and the only true world championship among the four majors. This handsome volume presents, in words and pictures, the complete 20th-century history of this celebrated competition. Played over the most famous courses of Scotland and England, the unpredictable playing conditions and challenging shot-making requirements make it golf's most exacting test. St Andrews, Muirfield, Royal St George's, Carnoustie, Turnberry, and Troon are some of the locations that evoke memories of classic encounters. Detailed, year-by-year accounts recall the great players that have battled for the Claret Jug, from Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones, and Jack Nicklaus to Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, and Greg Norman. With specially commissioned color maps detailing each course, 150 documentary photographs, and a comprehensive records section, this is an essential volume for every player and enthusiast of the game.
