History will be made at The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush after it was revealed by The R&A that 278,000 fans will gather at the Dunluce links from July 13-20 for the largest championship held outside of St Andrews.

A former senior member of the team leading the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in 2012, Mr Darbon is leaving his role as CEO of Northampton Saints, the Premiership Rugby club, to take up the St Andrews-based position in November.
