The final major of the season is upon us, The 152nd Open.
Royal Troon host The Open Championship for the tenth time since 1923, 101 years ago.
Designed in the traditional out-and-back manner of the Old Course at St Andrews, Troon's test begins with a gentle opening through some of the most striking links land to be found at any of the Open venues and concludes with a back nine as tough as any finish in the world. Troon most recently staged the Championship in 2016, when Henrik Stenson prevailed in a stunning duel with Phil Mickelson.
History will once again be written around the Scottish South Ayrshire links this weekend, as golf’s greatest players will all compete for the chance to be called Champion Golfer of the Year.
Take a tour around every hole of The Old Course at Royal Troon, ahead of The 152nd Open.
Last years reigning Open champ Brian Harman returns, as he attempts to be the first man in 16 years to win back-to-back Claret Jugs. Dominating at last years Royal Liverpool, Harman won by 6 strokes ahead of the best players in the world.
World #1 and bookie's favourite Scottie Scheffler tees off at 3:10pm on Thursday alongside Jordan Spieth and Cam Young in the afternoon. Meanwhile 2nd favourite Rory McIlroy plays in his first major since a disappointing end to the US Open '24. He plays alongside Max Homa and LIV Golf's in-form Tyrrell Hatton at 10:09am as they hunt for their first major wins.
Tiger Woods is also back in just his 5th event of the year at this year's Open, after essentially being told to retire by Colin Montgomerie earlier in the week. Tiger tee's off at 2:37pm alongside Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
1 reserve and 16 full time LIV Golf League players will start The 152nd Open comprising of; Abraham Ancer, Joaquin Nieman, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton, John Catlin, David Puig, Henrik Stenson, Louis Oosthuizen, Adrian Meronk, Dean Burmester, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, Andy Ogletree and Sam Horsfield.
