The first Open Golf Championship was played over 3 rounds at Prestwick in Ayreshire in 1860. This was organized by the Earl of Eglinton and Colonel James Fairlie. At that time a prize of a red leather belt with a silver buckle and decorations was offered.

Just 8 men played in the first challenge and Willie Park beat Tom Morris to become the first Open Golf winner. At that time no prize money was offered until 1873 Willie Park won again and received £10 in prize money. The next year with 12 contestants Tom Morris won. He and his son Young Tom Morris were to go on and win 4 times each by 1872.

When other clubs were invited and joined the famous Claret Jug was offered as a trophy to replace the belt. In 1894 other locations were added to the rota.
