St. Andrews may have been built by the sea, but this next week -- as the golf world converges on an historic little town -- represents a crest that's building for years. The 150th Open Championship at the Old Course. What a fitting way to end the 2022 major season. Certainly, historic Opens have been held here before, but perhaps none have been quite as consequential as this one at the back end of what has been the most bizarre golf summer in decades.

Though the PGA Tour-LIV Golf battle roils on, a one-week armistice has been issued as the most famous town in golf once again unveils itself to the world. Four days at the Old Course will have to suffice for at least the next five years (the next Open Championship won't be played here until 2027 or later). It has sufficed, of course, since the American Civil War, which is almost too much history to bear in one week.
