The British Open is going to have the ability to accommodate around 32,000 fans every day in Royal St George’s, organisers that the Royal and Ancient (R&A) mentioned on Saturday after talks with the authorities and public health authorities.
The 149th Open, cancelled last year due to this Covid pandemic, could take place July 15-18 and enthusiasts will be permitted regardless of the government’s statement it is delaying the upcoming proposed easing of its limitations.
“We’re happy to now have the ability to go with our strategies with a substantial presence at this season’s championship,” Martin Slumbers, the first executive of this R&A, explained in an announcement.
“These lovers will play a enormous part in making a very unique feeling as the planet’s greatest players compete to your Claret Jug and people look forward to inviting these to Royal St George’s.
“I want to acknowledge the understanding and support we’ve received from the public and government health authorities, players, fans, our partners and patrons, as we’ve worked during this incredibly challenging procedure.”
