R&A is adopting a final-high qualifier for a maximum of 12 players in a playoff for the final place in the 2026 Open Championships next year at Royal Birkdel.
The PGA Tour events have to expand the live coverage of the events of the organizers of the oldest head in the golf, mimicking the popular Monday qualifier and open coverage of the event and opening the door equally for players and fans.
R&A CEO, Mark Darbon said in a release, “Open is one of the great sports events in the world and is recognized worldwide every year for the special atmosphere generated by thousands of fans participating in the championship.” “We have asked him how we can create their experience of participating in the open even more pleasant and they have become clear … they want more live golf, more opportunities to connect with the traditions of the original championship of golf and more activities on more activities to see, hear and play.
“As a result, we have introduced new features, which we think will elevate the open for fans, especially in the leading days for the championship.”
In the final-mooked region, 12 players competing for 18 holes are expected to include, and the winner will earn the final location in the 156-Khiladi region for the open.
The 2025 Open Championship is being hosted in Royal Portrash from July 17.
