The 2005 Open Championship was the 134th Open Championship, held 14–17 July at The Old Course at St Andrews. Tiger Woods led wire-to-wire for his tenth major title, five shots ahead of runner-up Colin Montgomerie. The win was Woods' second Open Championship, both at St. Andrews, and completed his second career grand slam at age 29. The tenth major and second slam were firsts for a player under the age of 30. At age 65, Jack Nicklaus made his final appearance at The Open Championship.
While winning the Open Championship is a crowning achievement for any golfer, a win at St. Andrews is considered particularly important due to the course's long tradition. Tiger Woods won the last Open Championship played at St. Andrews in 2000 with a tournament to par record of 19-under par. Other past winners at St. Andrews include John Daly, Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus (twice), Tony Lema, Kel Nagle, Bobby Locke, Peter Thomson, Sam Snead, Dick Burton, Denny Shute, Bobby Jones, Jock Hutchison, James Braid (twice), John Henry Taylor (twice), Hugh Kirkaldy, Jack Burns, Bob Martin (twice), Jamie Anderson and Tom Kidd.
