Golf
Major tournaments
- British Open – no competition.
- The Open has been administered since 1860 by Prestwick Golf Club but controversy arises in 1871 which prevents the tournament being held. Finally, it is agreed that the tournament will henceforth be organised jointly by The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.
