Check out Open history and current form stats

Tournament Notes

• Sometimes referred to as Hoylake, Royal Liverpool Golf Club is the second oldest seaside course in England, behind Devon's Westward Ho!;

• Opened in 1869 as a nine-hole venue, the club earned its Royal status just two years later by which time it had been extended to 18 holes;

• Harry Colt, one of golf's most famous course architects, redesigned the layout early in the 20th century, and the venue has since been modified periodically;

• The Open has been played here 12 times, most recently nine years ago, when Rory McIlroy won by two strokes;

• The R&A has confirmed that the prize fund for this year's event has increased by 18% to a record total of $16.5m. The champion will receive $3m.

Course Notes

• Located at the north-west corner of the Wirral Peninsula;

• Following the 1967 Open, the championship did not return to Hoylake for another 39 years;

• When it did in 2006, winner Tiger Woods only used his driver once during the entire tournament;

• The winning 72-hole scores in 2006 and 2014, were 270 (18-under-par) and 271 (17-under-par) respectively;

• A largely flat venue that has been tweaked during the past nine years;

• There is additional bunkering, along with extended run-off areas aimed at offering a wider variety of short-game options;

• The par-three 17th is a brand new hole. At just under 140 yards, the hole has been flipped to play in a different direction than it did in either 2006 or 2014.
