Summary
The 2026 British Open returns to historic Royal Birkdale, featuring a powerhouse field including defending champ Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth — who triumphed there last time. With a unique, flexible playoff system in place — potentially three designated holes followed by sudden death on the 18th if needed — the tournament promises high stakes and thrilling drama. The last playoff was in 2015 at St. Andrews, and the 2019 overhaul to the three-hole format shows how the rules continue to evolve, adding even more excitement to the game’s oldest championship.
