But there is a lot of talk around how much things cost this year.
The Open are charging £7.75 for a pint of Guinness, Singha beer or Angry Orchard cider.
That is an increase of 25p from last year as many sporting events bump up their prices amid rising costs.

However, it is still a steep cost, especially in Northern Ireland where prices are generally lower compared to premium London venues.
Some golf supporters went online to vent their views.
One told the Daily Mail: "£7.75 for a pint at a major sporting event is expensive however I see pubs in London charging similar prices every day."

Who is Li Haotong? Here's what to know about the Chinese golfer contending at the British Open
Li Haotong is in contention to become the first man from China, a country of 1.4 billion people, to win a major golf championship. The No. 111-ranked Li will play in the final pairing at the British Open on Sunday with Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1. Scheffler leads by four strokes from Li, who is alone in second place at Royal Portrush. Here are some things to know about the Chinese golfer. In short, he's quite a character. Who is Li Haotong? He is a 29-year-old from Hunan, China. He started out caddying for his father, who played golf while also owning a car dealership in their home city. Li's parents now travel the world with him as he splits his time between playing on the PGA Tour and European tour. He turned pro in 2011 and first got on the European tour in 2016. Look away greenkeepers 🫣 Haotong Li with one of the best chips from ON the green you'll see!#TheOpen — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) July 18, 2025 Best finish at a major This is Li's 15th appearance in a major and his best finish was a tie for third at the British Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017, when he shot a final-round 63. He was six strokes behind the winner, Jordan Spieth. In 2020, Li was the first Chinese player to hold the lead after any round in a major championship thanks to a bogey-free 65 in the second round of the PGA Championship. That left him two shots clear. He wound up finishing 17th. Li's last major appearance came in 2022 when he missed the cut at the British Open at St. Andrews. Victories on the European tour Li is a four-time winner on the European tour, most recently at the Qatar Masters in February when he holed a birdie putt from 15 feet at the last hole to secure a one-shot victory and wept in the arms of his caddie. His first was nearly a decade earlier at the China Open in 2016, the year he joined the tour. A birdie at 14 has Haotong Li in second. — The Open (@TheOpen) July 19, 2025 The broken putter incident Li was involved in one of the most bizarre incidents in the history of the European tour. While playing the French Open in 2017, Li threw his club into the water out of frustration after bogeying the par-3 11th hole at Le Golf National. Moments later, his mother rolled up her shorts and waded through the muddy pond to recover it. After she grabbed it, she returned to dry land, realized it was broken — her son had snapped it — and threw it back in the water. After the incident, Li played the final seven holes in level par using a sand wedge as a putter. Li Haotong threw his putter in the water at French Open. This woman was intent on getting it. Little did she know... — Ruaidhrí Croke (@Ruaidhri_Croke) June 29, 2017 Something else quirky Li once had the following in red capital letters on the back of his 60-degree wedge: 'HAOTONG IS THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN CHINA.' Oh, and Li also follows an English soccer team — Sunderland. Well, kind of. He was guided down that road by an ex-caddie, who was a fan of the team from northeast England. China has female major winners While no man from China has captured a major title, two women have. The first was Shanshan Feng, who won the LPGA Championship in 2012. Ruoning Yin won the Women's PGA Championship in 2021.

And it showed during his presser as the Ukrainian superstar left everyone laughing their socks off as he revealed he has a name for his deadly left hook.

Usyk dropped Dubois multiple times as he put any doubts about his first win over the Brit to bed by cementing the repeat and avoiding the revenge. Here, SunSport's ROUND ONE Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward. Stiff jab from Usyk appears to almost wake Dubois up and the Brit responds with a one-two. Usyk searches to the body with a left, blocks a right hand from Dubois and ends the round with a menacing combo. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 ROUND TWO Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left. Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs. Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainty making him pay. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18) ROUND THREE Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt. Dubois charges forward with a left hook, right hand but Usyk covers up well. Huge left hook lands on the button from Usyk, sweat sprays off Dubois face. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 30 Dubois 27) ROUND FOUR Right uppercut lands on Usyk's belt-line in a genuine case of dejavu from low-blow gate in their first fight.

Dubois comes forward, charging at Usyk and the two trade off in the corner but DOWN GOES DUBOIS after a counter right hook.

The Open round 4 tee times: What time are McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler off at?
The final round of the final major of the year takes place this afternoon as the 153rd Open Championship comes to a close at Royal Portrush. World number one Scottie Scheffler (2.30pm tee time) is in pole position to win his first Open Championship, his second major of the year, his third in total and move one away from completing the career grand slam. Rory McIlroy (2.20pm tee time) has already achieved that last feat and is lurking ominously in a tie for fourth position on eight-under, six strokes behind leader Scheffler. The five-time major winner set the course record at Royal Portrush with a 61 as a teenager and could do with calling on that magic again today as he looks to give his home fans in Northern Ireland a moment that they will never forget. "I've come here really just trying to embrace it," said McIlroy after round three. "If I hadn't have won a major this year, if I hadn't have won the Masters, I might have felt differently. Scottie Scheffler (Image: (Photo by)) "It's almost a celebration of what I've been able to accomplish. I want to celebrate with them too. I've just really tried to embrace everything this week. "I'm having an incredible time. I'm really enjoying myself, and I feel like I've given myself half a chance now, and I'm excited for tomorrow."
