L'Open Championship - souvent connu sous le nom de British Open en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande - est le plus ancien des quatre grands championnats de golf masculin. L'événement est organisé chaque année par l'un des prestigieux clubs de golf du Royaume-Uni et est administré par The R&A, quel que soit son lieu. Le prochain tournoi, en 2013, aura lieu à Muirfield en Écosse.
