The 2000 Open Championship was a men's major golf championship and the 129th Open Championship, held from 20 to 23 July at the Old Course in St Andrews, Scotland. Tiger Woods, 24, won his first Open Championship and fourth major title, eight strokes ahead of runners-up Thomas Bjørn and Ernie Els.[2]

With the victory, Woods became the fifth golfer and also youngest ever to complete a career Grand Slam (winning the Open Championship, PGA Championship, Masters and U.S. Open in the course of a career), beating Jack Nicklaus' record by two years.[3] He went on to complete the "Tiger Slam" – holding all four major championships simultaneously, as this Open Championship was preceded by the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links and then followed by the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club and the 2001 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.

At this Open, Woods also achieved the lowest 72-hole score in relation to par at −19, which was a record for all major championships[4][5] for fifteen years, until Jason Day broke it at the PGA Championship in 2015 at twenty-under-par.

Woods became the sixth to win the U.S. Open and the Open Championship in the same year, joining fellow Americans Bobby Jones (1926, 1930), Gene Sarazen (1932), Ben Hogan (1953), Lee Trevino (1971), and Tom Watson (1982). Woods also became the second player after Nicklaus to win both an Open Championship at St Andrews and a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.[6]

It was the first Open Championship to be telecast in high-definition television in any country, being telecast in the United States by ABC Sports that year.

Venue and course

Location and significance

The 2000 Open Championship, the 129th edition of golf's oldest major, was held from 20 to 23 July at the in , . This iconic links course, measuring 7,115 yards with a par of 72, served as the venue for a tournament that blended tradition with the dawn of a new millennium. , often dubbed the "Home of Golf" due to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, founded in 1754 and serving as the sport's governing body since 1894, has been central to the championship's history. The Old Course's selection for the 2000 event marked its 26th time hosting The Open, a record surpassed only in subsequent years, underscoring its enduring prestige among the rotating links venues. As the spiritual birthplace of modern , St symbolizes the championship's origins, with the event first contested there in , fostering a deep connection for players and fans alike. The course's double greens and strategic bunkers, while emblematic of links play, amplified the tournament's allure as a test of skill on hallowed ground. Dubbed the Millennium Open, the 2000 championship carried unique historical weight, commemorating the turn of the century with special festivities, including a Past Champions Challenge featuring former winners on the eve of the tournament. This celebratory atmosphere drew a record-breaking attendance of 239,000 spectators, the highest in Open history at the time, reflecting the event's global draw and the venue's magnetic pull. The occasion not only highlighted ' pivotal role in golf's evolution but also set a benchmark for future majors at the dawn of the .

Course characteristics

The Old Course at St Andrews, host of the 2000 Open Championship, was set up at a total length of 7,115 yards with a par of 72, divided into an outward nine of 3,545 yards (par 36) and an inward nine of 3,570 yards (par 36). Among its distinctive hazards, the 14th hole—a par-5 known as Long—features the Hell Bunker, a vast, deep trap spanning nearly 40 yards wide and guarding the front of the green, demanding either a precise lay-up short of it or a courageous carry over its face. The 17th hole, the infamous Road Hole par-4, presents a narrow dogleg with the Road Hole Bunker—a deep, angled pot—protecting the left approach, while an out-of-bounds road wall runs perilously close to the rear of the green, often punishing aggressive play. The course's seven double greens, shared by hole pairs like the 2nd/16th and 3rd/15th, create expansive putting surfaces that require careful angle selection on approaches and demand nuanced green-reading due to their shared contours and subtle slopes. For the 2000 event, organizers introduced a specific modification by converting the former fairway area left of the Principal's Nose on the opening hole into rough, narrowing the playable corridor and heightening the risk of errant drives into fescue and heather. placements were positioned to maximize strategic options, with some holes offering dual fairway routes to exploit or avoid based on wind direction, while rough was maintained at a moderate height to penalize inaccuracies without overwhelming terrain. True to its links heritage, the Old Course rewards strategic shot-making over raw power, with firm, fast-running turf that favors low, ground-hugging trajectories and bump-and-run shots around greens, while the exposed layout amplifies the influence of coastal winds, forcing players to adapt club selection and lines continually across its double-wide fairways and undulating dunes.

Tiger Woods, entering as the heavy favorite after his U.S. Open victory, carded a flawless bogey-free 67 with five birdies, placing him one stroke back in a tie for second. His precise iron play and avoidance of the course's deep bunkers kept him firmly in contention from the outset. American matched Woods' score of 67, providing an early surprise as the relatively unheralded left-hander briefly shared the lead after a hot start with four birdies in his first nine holes before steadying with pars on the back. Scoring trends reflected the favorable weather, with 10 players finishing at three under par or better, including and Shigeki Maruyama at 68, while the field average hovered around 73, underscoring the course's yield to accurate ball-striking rather than its typical links brutality.

Woods started with a bogey on the second hole—his first dropped shot of the weekend—but rebounded with birdies on the third, eighth, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, and eighteenth, while also bogeying the sixteenth and seventeenth. His approach on the par-4 seventeenth Road Hole, a notoriously challenging 495-yard par-4 flanked by the infamous deep bunker and the adjacent road, led to a bogey after finding trouble short of the green, creating a brief moment of pressure amid otherwise flawless play. Challengers struggled to close the gap, with posting a 70 to reach 208 (8-under), hampered by a double-bogey on the twelfth after an unplayable lie forced a penalty drop. fired a 68 to join at 206 (10-under), as Bjørn birdied three of his last six holes to stay in contention, though still six shots back.
