The 1974 Open Championship was the 103rd Open Championship, held from 10 to 13 July at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England. Gary Player won his third Open Championship, four strokes ahead of runner-up Peter Oosterhuis.[1][2] It was the eighth of his nine major titles and second of the year; he won the Masters in April.[3] In the other two majors in 1974, the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship, Player had top ten finishes.

The use of the larger "American ball" (diameter Script error: No such module "convert".) was made compulsory. In previous Opens, players could use the smaller "British ball" (Script error: No such module "convert".).[4][5][6]
