The Open Attendance Sets A New Record

July 17th, 2019

A crowd of 237,750 is attending The 148th Open at Royal Portrush this week, setting an attendance record for a Championship staged outside St Andrews.

This year’s attendance surpasses the crowd of 235,000 who attended Royal Birkdale in 2017 and the 237,000 mark set at St Andrews in 2015 making it the second largest Championship ever.

This makes it even more important that, as we report below, Royal Portrush is demonstrating its continuing commitment to addressing issues concerning the local environment, use of resources and the local communities.
