A thrilling 2025 golf season has reached its final major as The Open Championship continues its 153rd tournament this weekend at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. This is the first time the oldest golf tournament in the world has returned to Portrush in six years, making it a memorable occasion.
All eyes have shifted towards hometown hero Rory McIlroy, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the world. Having already won three tournaments this season, including his first Masters, McIlroy was expected to perform well at Royal Portrush. However, following a brief period of adjustment, he found himself ranked second in odds behind Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler’s career-low round of 64 in this major event has propelled him into a one-stroke lead entering the moving day, while McIlroy is positioned to contend, despite starting the weekend significantly behind Scheffler. Other noteworthy players include Matt Fitzpatrick and Harris English, who trail closely behind.
With the Claret Jug and an impressive $3.1 million prize still up for grabs, determination and skill will become key factors as the competition unfolds.
