Welcome to Golf Monthly?s online coverage of the 2007 Open Championship.

This year the event returns to Carnoustie and arguably the toughest test on the rota. Just as it has on the five previous occasions that the links have hosted the Open, Carnoustie will provide unrelenting test, placing every aspect of the player?s games under the microcope. The man crowned Champion Golfer for the Year will truly have earned that accolade.

The Golf Monthly team are leaving London to set up shop in this quiet coastal town to keep you up to date with everything Open. From the latest Championship news and photos to course guides and our unique brand of behind the scenes blogs, we?ll bring you closer to the 136th Open Championship.

Bookmark this page and join Golf Monthly for a fortnight of the most up-to-date coverage of golf?s greatest event.
