Muirfield to host Senior British Open in 2028 after 21 years

Summary

Muirfield, which last hosted an Open Championship in 2013, will welcome back senior golfers for the ISPS Handa Senior Open in 2028. The decision follows a 21-year wait since Muirfield last hosted the Senior British Open in 2007, won by Tom Watson. This announcement raises questions about potential course changes needed to accommodate larger crowds during modern Opens. The next two Opens are scheduled for St. Andrews in 2027 and Royal Lytham & St. Annes in 2028. Muirfield's last Open was when Phil Mickelson claimed victory in 2013.
