The 2000 Open Championship was the 129th Open Championship held from 20-23 July at the Old Course at St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. Tiger Woods won his first Open Championship and fourth major championship by eight strokes over Thomas Bjørn and Ernie Els. With the victory, Woods broke Jack Nicklaus's record of being the youngest golfer ever to win all four of golf's major championships. Woods became the fifth player to complete the feat. In doing so, he also achieved the lowest 72-hole score in relation to par of -19, which is a record for all major championships.
It was the first Open Championship to be telecast in high-definition television in any country, being telecast in the United States by ABC Sports that year.
