The British Open will return to Muirfield in 2013, the links course on the eastern shores of Scotland where golf’s oldest championship has been played for centuries. Murifield last hosted the Open in 2002, when Ernie Els won in a four man play-off and Tiger Woods shot an 81 in the third round.
This will be the 16th time the Open has been played at Murifield and the 11 year gap between hosting is the longest since it was without an Open between 1948 and 19s, 59.
