It is my pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the European Tour Group, to Carnoustie Golf Links for The Senior Open Presented by Rolex, Europe’s only Senior Major Championship.
It will be the third time The Senior Open Presented by Rolex graces the fairways of this stunning links venue and we are so excited to return to Scotland.
We have enjoyed some memorable occasions in Angus during our past visits here, including Bernhard Langer’s hard-fought victory in 2010 and Paul Broadhurst’s Major breakthrough in 2016.
The Senior Open is a true highlight of the golfing calendar and we cannot wait to welcome back our defending champion, Alex Čejka, and a plethora of golfing greats to this prestigious championship.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank The R&A and the PGA TOUR Champions for their invaluable support and Carnoustie, who I know are delighted to again be hosting such a celebrated event, which we reciprocate entirely.
The event would not be possible without the Championship’s presenting partner Rolex, who have helped to grow this event into the spectacle it is today, as well as its support of the Legends Tour and the European Tour Group as a whole.
It would be amiss of me not to thank the Scottish Government, Visit Scotland, Angus Council and all other supporting sponsors for everything they do for this championship.
Behind the scenes I know the staff, volunteers and marshals at Carnoustie all put in a great deal of effort into making the championship a success, and I extend our thanks to them for doing so.
We hope you have a great week.
Best regards,
*Guy Kinnings
