Royal Liverpool and Royal Troon will host the Open in 2023 and 2024 respectively, the R&A has confirmed.

The venues had both originally been scheduled to welcome the championship a year earlier, but the coronavirus pandemic – and the resulting cancellation of the 2020 tournament at Royal St George’s – prompted a reshuffle.
