The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open), is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf. It is the only major held outside the United States and is administered by the R&A, which is the governing body of golf outside the U.S. and Mexico.
Andy North discusses the best strategy at the Open Championship, a contender who is at least 40 years old, and who has the most to prove to the Ryder Cup committee.

The 143rd edition of the Open Championship tees off early Thursday morning at Royal Liverpool, and for the first time this year, we'll have Tiger Woods competing at a major championship. It's been over six years since Tiger last won a major, and if he doesn't win this week, he'll fall behind the pace set by Jack Nicklaus, who got his 15th title (on the way to 18) at the Open at the age of 38.
But with Tiger having just two competitive rounds under his belt in the last four months, surely we can't expect him to contend this week, right? A few of the SB Nation golf staffers got together for a quick discussion on what we can expect from Tiger and others this week at Hoylake.
I'll sign up for Victor Dubuisson at 100/1. The mysterious Frenchman entertained us in his runner-up finish at the Match Play championship back in February, when even the most ardent golf watchers knew almost nothing about him. But Dubuisson leads the European Points list for Ryder Cup qualification, and is entrenched as one of the top players on the Euro Tour. For such a world class player, that 100/1 listing is good value on a venue where he should be pretty comfortable.

ordan Spieth. He may only be 20 years old, but he has the game and mentality to do it. Spieth has done a lot of impressive things during the last year and a half, but his work at Congressional may have been the thing that impressed me the most. He got thrown into the Tiger return buzzsaw playing with Woods on Thursday and Friday. Like Woods he struggled on Thursday and shot a 74. It would have been easy to miss the cut, but he recovered to finish tied for 11th. It seems no matter what happens he always finds himself in the mix on Sunday. A year and a week after he notched his first pro win, I think he picks up his first major.
