One of the oldest golf tournaments is set to begin its 135^th year at the 2006 British Open being hosted at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club for the 11^th time.  ABC-TV and TNT will cover this year’s golf tournament.

The first British Open was held back in 1897.  In 1930, Bobby Jones made history at the Royal Liverpool.  Tiger Woods will get his chance to win at this year’s British Open.  This will be the first time that Tiger has played at this golf course in Hoylake, England.

It has been many years since the British Open has been held in Liverpool.  Most of the golf champions are young and will be playing this golf course for the first time.  One player that has had play time on the Hoylake golf course is Phil Mickelson.  He has been scouting out the major championship courses for the past couple of years to practice on each one.  Tiger Woods is likely to be the best golfer on this course and most believe he will win.

The 2006 British Open starts on July 20^th and goes through the 23^rd.
