THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO ROYAL LIVERPOOL
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club has announced that Royal Liverpool Golf Club will host
the 2006 Open Championship from 20th to 23rd July.
The Open was last played at Hoylake in 1967 when Roberto de Vicenzo of Argentina
won his first and only major title.
In the years since that historic championship, the demands of the Open in terms of
infrastructure, space and traffic management ruled Royal Liverpool out as an Open
venue. Now, however, with plans in place as a result of the three-way agreement
signed by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, Royal Liverpool Golf Club and the
Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, the Open will make a welcome and long-overdue
return after a break of 39 years.
