PICTURES: 20 years of capturing The Open championship

Andrew Redington has been photographing The Open Championship for Getty Images for more than two decades and was hard at work yet again at St Andrews ahead of this week’s renewal in the Auld Grey Toon.

Having captured Tiger Woods during his pre-tournament press conference yesterday, Redington spoke to The Irish Examiner about some of his favourite work from a career covering the sport’s greatest icons, from Seve Ballesteros to Rory McIlroy.

“I’ve been coming to The Open since 1992 and in terms of enjoyment you definitely want to be out with the stars. But week in, week out you’re required to get the leaders, do corporate stuff or branding, things like that.
