It is a pleasure to welcome players, officials and fans to Scotland for The Senior Open presented by Rolex.
Scotland is one of the best places in the world to experience events and Carnoustie Golf Links on the Angus coast will provide the perfect stage for Europe’s only Senior Major Championships.
Our atmospheric crowds, picture-perfect backdrop, and world-famous hospitality will ensure both players and spectators have a memorable experience over the next four days.
Scotland holds an acclaimed and desired position as an authentic world-class golf destination.
With a legacy spanning six centuries and with more than 550 golf courses including links, parkland, and 9-hole courses, there is no finer place to experience golf than the country that gave the game to the world.
This global reputation as the home of golf helps attract around 220,000 golfing visitors annually with events like The Senior Open presented by Rolex providing an ideal showcase for what Scotland has to offer.
My thanks to The R&A, DP World Tour, and Carnoustie Golf Links for their work in delivering this week’s tournament. To all those attending I hope you enjoy the action. Finally, to the players, the best of luck for a great Championship.
