The Open Championship will return to Carnoustie in 2029, ending a gap since the Scottish venue last hosted a men’s major championship. Multiple outlets report that the R&A has announced Carnoustie’s place on the Open rota, with several also describing the timing as part of an 11-year return.
Coverage also notes that Turnberry’s next available date for hosting The Open has moved out to 2030. Front Office Sports and Yahoo Sports both highlight that Carnoustie is selected for 2029 while Turnberry’s wait extends to the following decade.
Some outlets add local reaction or context. The Evening Standard and the Belfast Telegraph both focus on comments from Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney, describing him as “delighted” by the 2029 appointment. Other reports concentrate primarily on the scheduling announcement and the duration since Carnoustie’s previous major hosting.
