It has been announced that Muirfield will host the 2013 Open Championship.
Fifteen Opens in all have been held at the Scottish links, with Nick Faldo winning two of his three titles there and Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Gary Player and Lee Trevino among the other past champions.
David Hill, the Royal and Ancient Club's Director of Championships, said: "We are delighted that The Open is returning to Muirfield, an outstanding championship course that consistently produces a very worthy champion."
