The Open Championship — the final major of the 2024 season — officially crowned Xander Schauffele as champion at Royal Troon on Sunday.
The prestigious tournament across the pond has seen some impressive results since its establishment in 1860. As a matter of fact, the Open Championship is the oldest golf tournament in the world.
Harry Vardon’s remarkable six wins currently stand as the record at the tournament. However, with the emergence of exceptional talent in the sport, the landscape may well shift in the years ahead.
