Robert MacIntyre calls for Carnoustie and Muirfield to return to The Open rotation
1 Oct 2026
Robert MacIntyre has called for The Open Championship to return more regularly to Carnoustie and Muirfield, according to BBC Sport Golf.
The Scottish golfer, described by BBC Sport as Scotland’s number one, made the appeal publicly as part of his view on where the championship should be staged. BBC Sport reported that MacIntyre wants both courses to become regular venues again for golf’s oldest major.
Carnoustie has long been one of Scotland’s most recognisable Open venues, while Muirfield has also featured prominently in the championship’s history. MacIntyre’s comments were framed by BBC Sport as a call for a return to more traditional host courses.
The report did not include a formal response from The Open, Carnoustie or Muirfield.
