London Golf Club to host 2021 English Open
London Golf Club will host a European Tour event for the first time since 2014, when the English Open takes place at this prestigious venue in August.
The tournament will take place on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Heritage Course from 12–15 August and will kick off a four-week UK swing, hosting the first European Open and Volvo World Match play.
“We are delighted to be returning to the London Golf Club for the English Open later this year,” European Tour Managing Director Keith Pelley said. “We have a long standing relationship with the club, which evolved into our very first European tourist destination in 2010.
“The London Club has been a popular venue with our players in the past and I am sure it will be again in August for our UK Swing Finals tournament, following previous events in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.”
