21 APRIL 2009, St Andrews, Scotland: Spectators who don’t want to miss a shot at Turnberry have under two weeks remaining in which to purchase Season Tickets for The Open Championship at the discounted price of £200.
A small number of Composite and Reserved Grandstand tickets are also available, offering Open Championship spectators unrivalled views of the world’s best golfers at one of The Open’s most iconic venues.
“This year’s Championship promises to be particularly special as we return to Turnberry after fifteen years,” commented David Hill, The R&A’s Director of Championships. “We continue to make The Open Championship affordable to our spectators and there is particularly good value to those attending for the full week.”
This year’s Championship promises to provide huge interest with Padraig Harrington looking to become first winner of three consecutive Open Championships since Peter Thomson in 1956 and the return of Tiger Woods after an enforced absence last year.
Under-16’s will be admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult.
A day ticket for one of the four Championship days (16-19 July 2009) costs £55.
Ticket enquiries should be directed through www.opengolf.com or +44 (0) 1334 460010.
