The R&A is moving The Open championship in 2028 to avoid clashing with the Los Angeles Olympics golf tournament.

With the Olympic golfing medals being decided between 19-29 July, the 156th staging of golf’s oldest major has been shunted back from its traditional slot in the third week of July to 3-6 August.

The men’s Senior Open will take place from 11-14 August, with the Women’s Open being held from 17-20 August.

“Providing clarity on the dates now will assist with the planning of the global golf calendar in 2028,” said R&A chief executive Mark Darbon.

“The Open will be returning to its normal mid-July dates in 2029.”

The venues for all three major championships in 2028 will be confirmed at a later date.
