Open Championship will be played at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland from Thursday, July 17 to Sunday, July 20. 156 players will start round one, with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schaufelle tipped to challenge for the Claret Jug.

The Open has had 28 different winners aged 38 or older all-time, the same number as the Masters and U.S. Open combined.

Tee times in Saturday’s third round of the British Open will be brought forward in an effort to reduce the potential for disruption while an annual loyalist parade takes place the same day in Portrush.

The first day of the 2025 Open Championship is expected to be rainy, with periods of heavy rain that could accumulate up to a quarter of an inch. The high temperature is expected to be around 69 degrees, with a low of 57 degrees, and winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour, according to The Weather Channel.

Royal Portrush is not only open to visitors, but its yearly membership dues are what the average American golfer spends on public tee times.
