It will be the fourth time Turnberry has hosted The Open. The venue is famous for the 1977 Duel in the Sun between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. Since Price's win in 1994 the demands of the Open have substantially increased and a solution to Turnberry's traffic problems had to be found before a return could be considered. David Hill, director of championships for The R&A said: "There has never been any doubt that the Open would return to Turnberry, one of our very best links courses, but before reaching that decision we had to be convinced that every aspect of our forward planning process was in place to ensure a successful return to Turnberry in 2009. added Hill.
