Such a shame, but understandable.
'Open decision made with a heavy heart'
It is the first time The Open has been cancelled since the 1940-45 tournaments were not played because of World War Two.
The 149th Open will now be played at Royal St George's in Sandwich from 11-18 July 2021, meaning the R&A can keep the 150th Open at St Andrews in Scotland, from 10-17 July 2022.
The R&A said all tickets bought for this year's tournament will be transferred to next year's event, with full refunds for those people who are no longer able to attend.
