British Open 2023: A visual history of Open Championship streakers

Windswept fescue, rolling dunes, pot bunkers and burnt-out greens. The sights and sounds of the Open Championship are unmistakeable. But serene links-golf beauty isn't the only thing that catches the eye at golf's most unique major. As longtime fans will tell you, sometimes its the sight of bare behind running across the 18th green with security in hot pursuit.

That's right, streaking is as synonymous with the Open Championship as it is with Will Ferrell at a frat party, and to celebrate that not-so-proud lineage of nudity, we assembled some of the most, ahem, revealing moments in Open history. Relive them all below ... but maybe wait until you get home from work just to be safe.
