The Royal Liverpool Golf Club is to host the best amateur golfers from around the world next year.
The R&A has announced the Hoylake course will be the venue for the 131st running of its amateur championship event from 15 – 20 June 2026.
The Royal Liverpool has hosted the event 18 times previously with Mikko Ilonen from Finland lifting the trophy when it was last held at the course, in 2000.
The 2025 event, which took place at Royal St George’s in Kent, was won by the USA’s Ethan Fang.
Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, Executive Director – Championships at The R&A, said, “It is a priority for The R&A to reinforce the status of our amateur championships, international matches and Student Tour Series as leading events in elite amateur golf.
“We aim to attract the best players from around the world and staging these competitions at some of the game’s most prestigious venues in 2026 underlines their importance.”
The Royal Liverpool has also hosted the Open Golf championships – featuring the world’s best professional players – three times since 2006.
