The Royal and Ancient has revealed Muirfield will be the venue for the 2013 Open Championship.
South Africa's Ernie Els won The Open the last time the Scottish venue hosted the tournament in 2002, triumphing after a four-man, four-hole play-off.
"We are delighted that The Open is returning to Muirfield," said R&A director of championships David Hill.
"It is an outstanding championship course that consistently produces a very worthy champion."

Hill added: "For any club to host the Open it requires a great deal of work.
"We would like to thank The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers for its continued cooperation, which has enabled the Championship to come back to this fine venue for a 16th time."
