The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (the R&A) is the organization that stages the Open Championship. And the R&A will announce the player pairings and tee times the week of the tournament. In 2022, for the first time in tournament history, tickets will be awarded through a lottery, or, in the R&A's terminology, a "ticket ballot."
2022 British Open Links: The Old Course
The Old Course, the Home of Golf, in St. Andrews. It is only fitting (and definitely not coincidental) that the Open Championship returns to The Old Course for its 150th edition in 2022. It has been 162 years since the tournament was founded, and no golf course has been the site of more Opens than The Old Course. The 2022 Open will be the 30th time the tournament takes place at St. Andrews.Today, The Old Course is the host site every five years, although in the case of the 2022 British Open it has been seven years (so that the 150th could be played there).
