The 2025 British Open is here, and for the third time ever, will be played at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.
Considered the oldest golf tournament in the world, the 2025 British Open will be the 153rd iteration of an event that dates back to 1860. This year's field of 156 golfers will carry on the tradition as they compete to win the prestigious tournament.
In 2024, it was Xander Schauffele who came out on top, and he'll look to emerge from a relatively quiet year to become the first repeat champion since Padraig Harrington in 2007 and 2008. The field is also highlighted by stars Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, John Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler, among many others.
