HERE'S THE STATEMENT FROM THE R&A:
The R&A has decided to cancel The Open in 2020 due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. The Championship will next be played at Royal St George's in 2021.
The Open was due to be played in Kent from 12-19 July but it has been necessary to cancel the Championship based on guidance from the UK Government, the health authorities, public services and The R&A’s advisers. This is the first time since the Second World War that golf's original Championship, first played in 1860, has been cancelled.
The 149th Open will be played at Royal St George's from 11-18 July 2021.
R&A Statement: No Open Championship in 2020; The Open Returns in 2021 at Royal St. George's
