Turnberry is a golf-centred resort on the Atlantic Coast of Scotland. It is located in South Ayrshire, and comprises three links golf courses, a golf academy, a five-star hotel built in 1906, as well as lodge and cottage accommodations.

Turnberry is also the home of the 2009 Open Championship.

Colin Montgomerie, a runner-up in five majors, including the 2005 Open at St Andrews to Tiger Woods, admits he feels very much at home at Turnberry.

Previous winners at Turnberry include Tom Watson, Greg Norman, and Nick Price, the last being in 1994.

Tiger Woods, this year's favorite to win, has never competed on the course.

Woods intends to travel to the Scottish links on Saturday to get acquainted with the course. But he won’t be waiting until then before practicing the type of shots he believes will be required if he is to reclaim the Claret Jug he last won in 2006.
