One of the funniest moments of the 2015 Open Championship was when the tournament had to roll legendary starter Ivor Robson back out on the course after he had already announced (what he presumed to be) his last golfer to call the three men for the playoff. It was an encore of sorts and the last time we will ever see Robson at The Open. He received a proper sendoff. And now he will be replaced.

But you don't just replace Ivor Robson with a single person. That's why two different men are taking over the starter spot (presumably because there are no other humans in Scotland who can keep themselves from going to the bathroom for 14 hours). Enter David Lancaster and Matt Corker.

"It is an honor and a privilege to be given the opportunity to become the official starter," said Lancaster. "The Open is one of the most prestigious events in world sport and I have long been inspired by its heritage and the tremendous performances of the golfing greats over the years. Matt and I are very much looking forward to playing a part in history by introducing the players on the first tee."

Lancaster and Corker work for the same company that coaches individuals and organizations in giving high-quality presentations.

"We were looking for starters who would be comfortable performing in front of both the thousands of spectators on site and the millions around the world watching at home," said Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, executive director of the Championships at the R&A. "David and Matt were recommended to us for their expertise in this field and when we met it became clear that they would be an excellent fit for this role."

So one-plus-one will equal Ivor this year. The man who can never be replaced. The legend. I'm sure Lancaster and Corker will be great, but this spot will never be the same again.
