THE SENIOR OPEN IS POSTPONED

The R&A has postponed The 2020 Senior Open due to the continuing threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Senior Open, which is Europe’s only Senior Major Championship, was scheduled to take place from 23 to 26 July 2020, at Sunningdale Golf Club.

In a statement issued by the R&A last Tuesday, Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, the Executive Director of Championships said:

“We have made the decision to postpone The Senior Open Presented by Rolex following discussions with all stakeholders and with public health and wellbeing the absolute priority. We will continue to investigate alternative options to host The Senior Open later in the year if at all possible and will make an announcement in due course.”

With The Open already cancelled, the AIG British Women's Open, at Royal Troon from 21 to 23 August, is the only professional championship left on The R&A's original schedule for 2020.
