    If you've won the British Open, are you allowed to enter every open tournament there after, OR is it only on the open course you've won, i.e If you won at Royal Hoylake you can only enter Royal Hoylake?

    Chris it my understanding that if you win the British Open you get at least a 5 year exemption from qualifying for it. So the winner can enter it no matter what course for at least 5 years.

    Open Champions at a minimum are exempt until they reach age 60.  Regardless of the course.

    There is no "British Open" it is "The Open Championship."  There is also a "US Open Championship"
