The par-72 course has held the Open Championship on 12 prior occasions, dating all the way back to 1897. Most recently, Royal Liverpool hosted the tournament in 2014 when Rory McIlroy won his first Open in wire-to-wire fashion. Tiger Woods has also won at the course, taking home the Claret Jug in 2006.
Last year, the Open Championship was held on the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
