As many as 290,000 fans are expected to show up for the Golfing tournament called Open tournament, which will be held at Saint Andrews. There were over 1 million ticket applications for the tournament. 20,000 free tickets were awarded to people aged under 16. Rahm Early has emerged as the pre-tournament favorite to win it all.
This is a phenomenal feat and reminds us of the enduring appeal of golf. I am delighted the 150th Open is coming to Scotland and I have no doubt the Championship will be a truly historic event.
