1. British Open
   British Open tickets are an opportunity to walk and see a truly historic course, regardless of the specific venue. The field was originally restricted to professionals, but was opened to amateurs in the tournament's second year, expanding the field to 18 players - eight amateurs and 10 professionals. Over the nearly 150 years the tournament has been played, there have been several legendary records broken and held. Perhaps the most prestigious record is the one for most victories, held by Harry Vardon, who won his last title in 1914.
