A thrilling 2025 golf season has reached its final major with The Open Championship entering its 153rd playing this week at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The oldest golf tournament in the world returns to Portrush for the first time in six years with the Claret Jug set to be awarded on site Sunday for just the third time.
