The 152nd edition of the British Open will get underway Thursday with a field of 158 golfers looking to take home the Claret Jug and the golf season's final major title.
Royal Troon – just outside Glasgow in Scotland – will be hosting this year's event for the 10th time in its history.
The par 71 course measures 7,385 yards from the championship tees, but – as with most courses in the Open rota – the wind, gorse and bunkers will all play major roles in how it plays.
Among Troon's most notable holes are the 632-yard, par-five No. 6, the Open's longest hole, and the par-3 No. 8, better known as the "Postage Stamp." It's the Open's shortest par 3, playing from as little as 99 up to 123 yards.
When is 2024 British Open?
The 152nd British Open will be played July 18-21, 2024, on the Old Course at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland.
Royal Troon, founded in 1878, last hosted the British Open in 2016, when Sweden's Henrik Stenson prevailed.

Who won British Open last year?
American Brian Harman claimed his first career major by playing four rounds of consistent, steady golf in the soggy conditions at Royal Liverpool to win last year's British Open by six strokes.
With only two career victories on the PGA Tour, Harman entered Sunday's final round with a five-shot lead. He closed with a 1-under 70 as Jon Rahm, Tom Kim, Jason Day and Sepp Straka all tied for second place.
