[[The Open Championship]] is an annual [[golf]] competition held in the [[United Kingdom]] that was established in 1860.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/british-open-frequently-asked-questions |title=Open Championship 2022: Frequently Asked Questions |work=Golf Digest |date=9 July 2022 |access-date=18 July 2022 |first=Christopher |last=Powers }}</ref> It is played on the weekend of the third Friday in July, and is the last of the four [[Men's major golf championships|major championships]] to be played each year.{{sfn|Newport|1997|p=272}} In addition, this championship is conducted by [[The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews]] (R&A).

The reigning champion of the competition is automatically invited to play in the other three majors ([[Masters Tournament|Masters]], the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]], and the [[PGA Championship]]) for the next five years. The prize of the tournament is the Golf Champion Trophy, commonly known as the [[Claret Jug]], and the champion personally keeps the trophy until the next competition the following year. The champion also receives a gold medal, which they are allowed to keep permanently. Until 1870 the champion received the [[Challenge Belt]], however when Tom Morris Jr. (more commonly known as [[Young Tom Morris]]) won the Open Championship three times in a row he won the belt outright, necessitating the need for a new trophy.<ref name="NotHeld"/>

[[Harry Vardon]] holds the record for the most Open Championship victories, winning six times during his career.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/golf-archives/2018/07/17/british-open-past-champions-most-all-time |title=Who Has Won the Most British Opens? |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=17 July 2018 |access-date=19 July 2022 |first=Nihal |last=Kolur}}</ref> The oldest winner of the Open Championship is Tom Morris Sr. (or [[Old Tom Morris]]) who was {{age in years and days|16 Jun 1821|26 Sep 1867|sep=and}} old when he won in [[1867 Open Championship|1867]].
