British Open from WikiPedia:
The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open outside the UK), is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf. It is the only major held outside the USA and is administered by the R&A, which is the governing body of golf outside the USA and Mexico. The Open is played on the weekend of the third Friday in July, and is the third major to take place each year following The Masters and the U.S. Open and before the PGA Championship.
The event takes place every year on one of nine historic links courses in Scotland or England (the event has been held once in Northern Ireland, but Royal Portrush is no longer on the rota). In 2009, The Open will have a prize fund of £4.2 million (at the time of the announcement in July 2008, approximately €5.25 million or $8.3 million), with £750,000 going to the winner. Historically, The Open's prize money was consistently the least of the four majors; from 2002 to 2008, it was the highest.
