Interesting Facts and Trivia about the 2023 The Open Championship
- The Open Championship is the oldest existing golf tournament in the history of the game. It started in 1860, with Willie Park Sr. winning the very first edition of the tournament in the said year.
- Harry Vardon is the all-time record-holder for most The Open Championship titles with six. He won the tournament in 1896, 1898, 1899, 1903, 1911, and 1914.
- The lowest score ever in a single 72-hole The Open Championship tournament is held by Henrik Stenson, who shot a 264 back in 2016 on his way to winning the Claret Jug.
- The Royal Liverpool will host its 13th overall The Open Championship this year. The last time The Open Championship was played there was in 2014, which was won by Rory McIlroy.
- Cameron Smith is the reigning and defending The Open Championship. He won the Claret Jug in 2022 with a score of 268, beating Cameron Young by just a score. Smith recently said that he is feeling great ahead of the 2023 The Open Championship: “The golf is starting to feel really nice, it’s starting to be in a spot where it doesn’t have to be 100 per cent for me to contend and that’s a really nice feeling,” Smith said (per Fox Sports). “The last couple of months I feel like I have really put the foot down, doing all the right stuff and started to straighten out the driver. Watching some golf from Hoylake it doesn’t look like there is a lot of drivers anyway so that might play in to my hands a little bit.”
