The 152nd Open sees the oldest and most prestigious golf tournament in the world return to Royal Troon.
As the Official Spirit of The Open, we couldn't miss the opportunity to explore the spirit of the town and past Open moments with Troon-born, Loch Lomond Whiskies brand ambassador, Colin Montgomerie.
Great moments make great memories, and as Monty has enjoyed playing many Open Championships over his career, including at Royal Troon, he shares the most special with fellow Loch Lomond Whiskies brand ambassador Iona Stephens.
Having grown up in Royal Troon, where he watched his first Open in 1973, Monty went on to build many of his own memories playing at the course. Royal Troon is where Monty started his Open career in 1997 and played his last Open Championship in 2016, where he hit the opening tee shot of the tournament.
Between these years, there have been highs and lows and Monty takes us through just some of these, including playing alongside some of the best players in the world.
Who better to share experiences of Troon and how the town comes alive during The Open than Monty, who has been both young spectator when growing up in the town, to world-renowned player traversing the links of Royal Troon.

Monty understands the passion that drives Scotland, The Open Championship, and Loch Lomond Whiskies. This passion builds the spirit of the town, its spectators and it’s players like no other tournament in the world.
