Tour Scotland photograph of the Claret Jug on Swilcan Bridge, Old Golf Course, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The awarding of the Claret Jug dates from 1872, when a new trophy was needed after Young Tom Morris had won the original Challenge Belt, presented by Prestwick Golf Club, outright in 1870 by winning the Championship three years in a row. Prestwick had both hosted and organised the Championship from 1860 to 1870. In 1873 Tom Kidd became the first winner to be actually presented with the Claret Jug after winning the Championship.
