What is the bag policy at The Open Championship 2024?

This week, the world of golf is set to witness the 152nd edition of The Open Championship. Set to be played at the Royal Troon Golf Club, this year's edition of the Major championship will begin on July 18 and conclude on July 21. Like most years, The Open this year is expected to have quite the attendance.

Hence, there are a lot of questions about The Open Championship on social media. One such common question pertains to the bag policy for the event. As per the official website of The Open, small bags and rucksacks will be accepted into the event.

However, these bags and rucksacks may be subject to security searches. On the other hand, The Open Championship has clearly stated that oversized bags will not be permitted within the venue. Regarding bag policy, these are the only rules and restrictions stated on the website of The Open as of now.

Apart from bag policy, the website of The Open Championship also contains information about what items are accepted and prohibited. Anyone attending the 152nd edition of The Open is highly encouraged to go through the website once.
