Bunkers at The Open are different this year — here’s why it matters

Headline: Bunkers at The Open Bunkers at The Open are different this year — here’s why it matters

Excerpt:

The bunkers at Royal St George’s are different this year, with a new type of sand having been installed for The Open. The new sand is designed to be more challenging for players, and will require them to use different techniques to get out of the bunkers.

The rough around the bunkers has also been allowed to grow longer, which will make it more difficult for players to extricate their balls. This change will put a premium on accuracy off the tee and on approach shots.

The changes to the bunkers are part of a wider effort by the R&A to make The Open a more challenging test for the world’s best players. The R&A believes that the new bunkers will make the course fairer and more strategic.

The changes to the bunkers and the rough are sure to have a major impact on the outcome of The Open. Players will need to adjust their strategies accordingly if they want to lift the Claret Jug.

Tiger Woods confirms 3 gear changes for the Open Championship

As Tiger Woods prepares for the Open Championship at Royal St. George’s, he has unveiled three significant changes to his equipment setup.

The most notable update is the addition of a new driver to Woods’ bag. He will be using a TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver with a 10.5-degree loft. Woods has been testing the Stealth Plus for several weeks and is confident that it will give him the added distance and accuracy he needs to compete on the challenging links course.

He will also be using a new putter, switching from a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 to a TaylorMade Spider GT. The Spider GT features a larger head and a more stable design, giving Woods more confidence on the greens.

Additionally, Woods has made a minor adjustment to his irons. He has moved to TaylorMade P7TW irons, which are slightly more compact than his previous irons and offer more workability. Woods is known for his precision iron play, so this change should help him to dial in his approach shots.
