James Ogilvie Fairlie (10 October 1809 – 5 December 1870) was a Scottish amateur golfer and landowner. He is best remembered as the principal organiser of the first Open Championship in 1860.[1] Fairlie was a founding member of Prestwick Golf Club in 1851.
Fairlie served as the captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and was the principal organiser of the inaugural 1860 Open Championship held at Prestwick. Fairlie was a friend and frequent playing partner of the Earl of Eglinton, Archibald Montgomerie,[2] who donated the Challenge Belt that was awarded to the Open Championship winner.[3] He was a mentor to Old Tom Morris who named his son, James Ogilvie Fairlie Morris, after him.[4]
Playing on the Old Course at St Andrews, Fairlie won the Silver Cross Medal in 1849, 1854 and 1860. He won the Gold Medal (King's Medal) in 1857 and 1862. He placed eighth in the 1861 Open Championship.
