Bluewater helps Major golf championships accelerate sustainability drive
Event date 12 July 2021 – 17 July 2021
Location Royal St George’s golf club in Sandwich, Kent
Two Major golf Championships – The Open and The Senior Open Presented by Rolex– are spearheading more sustainable sports events post Covid with the help of Swedish drinking water company Bluewater.
Both championships, which attract the world's best players and tens of thousands of golf fans, have taken a stand against single-use plastic bottles by offering free purified drinking water on demand from unique Bluewater water stations and refillable craft stainless steel water bottles as an alternative to a throwaway culture.
The R&A is staging The 149th Open at Royal St George’s golf club in Sandwich, Kent, in mid-July. First trialled at The 148th Open at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland the Bluewater water station and bottle solutions helped the organisation ditch the sale of throwaway plastic bottles during the event. The Senior Open will be staged at Sunningdale Golf Club from 22 – 25 July.
