What is being bought
The Open is an iconic Championship in world golf. Since 1860, The Open has been played over some of the world’s most cherished links courses and has produced a remarkable legacy of great champions. It is the oldest and most international championship in professional golf and the Claret Jug – first presented in 1873 – is one of the most iconic trophies in all of sport.
Three of the current nine Open venues are located in the North West of England, and two in Liverpool City Region (Royal Liverpool at Hoylake and Royal Birkdale in Southport). The event is held in the NWE region on average three times a decade.

The Open’s organisers, the Royal & Ancient (R&A), reported that c235,000 people attended the event which generated approximately £21 million for the Sefton economy and a further £35m for the City Region.
