The Open 2025: Round One and Two tee times, TV schedule, odds and how to watch
The tournament heads back to Portrush after its maiden appearance there in 2019, which in turn ended the Open's 68-year absence from Northern Ireland.
Shane Lowry delighted home fans with his victory six years ago, and the Republic of Ireland star will be hoping to roll back the years this time around.
And there will also be plenty of eyes on Rory McIlroy as the Masters champion looks to improve on his performance here in 2019, which saw him miss the cut.
Xander Schauffele is this week's defending champion after his commanding final-round display at Royal Troon last year.
But the American, still getting back to his best after an early-season injury, faces a tall order to win back his title against a stacked field that includes World No1 Scottie Scheffler.
Ahead of the first round, here is everything you need to know, including the tee times, TV schedule, and how to watch and stream in the UK.

Wayne Rooney: Criticism from Birmingham minority owner Tom Brady ‘very unfair'
Rooney, sacked by Birmingham in January 2024 after less than three months in charge, said he was 'really disappointed with the comment' on his new podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, which launches on Friday. NFL great Brady, who became a minority shareholder at Birmingham in August 2023, said he was 'a little worried about our head coach's work ethic' during a documentary after visiting Blues' training ground the following November. Former England captain Rooney said he was 'really disappointed' at the seven-time Super Bowl winner's criticism. Speaking via his new show on the BBC, the ex-Everton and Manchester United striker said: 'I think Tom came in once, which was the day before a game where the days are a little bit lighter anyway, and I don't think he really understood football that well. 'But what he does understand is – he's a hard worker – we know that.' Rooney added: 'Football is not NFL – NFL works for three months a year. Players do need rest as well, so I think he's very unfair, the way he's come out and portrayed that.' Birmingham were bought out by American consortium Knighthead Capital Management in the summer of 2023 and Brady became a shareholder two months later. Rooney was sacked following 15 matches after Blues had slipped to 20th in the Sky Bet Championship and the club were relegated at the end of the 2023-24 season. Under current boss Chris Davies, Birmingham bounced straight back to the second tier as League One champions last season with an English Football League record points tally of 111.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta shows true colours with what he's doing for youth players
Under Armour has announced Mikel Arteta as its new global ambassador, with the Arsenal manager hopeful of making a real impact on the next generation of budding footballers Mikel Arteta has been unveiled as Under Armour's new global ambassador, which will see the Arsenal boss look to transform aspiring footballers' lives. The collaboration between the American sportswear giant and one of the Premier League 's most respected tacticians has come as part of Under Armour's expansion into football. The Gunners boss will share his insights and understanding of the sport in areas such as brand development, talent identification and leadership. A key aspect of Arteta 's new role will also be developing the next generation of athletes with his role in Under Armour's Next programme. Under Armour launched its Next programme in 2023 with the goal of inspiring, supporting and celebrating the next generation of athletes trying to break through. The project gives players between the ages of 16 and 20, such as those released from professional football clubs, the opportunity to sign up to the programme and test themselves at UA Next Academy in London. Those who are successful are rewarded with a spot on the UA Next roster, gaining access to pro-level support, experts, facilities and experiences designed to take their game to the next level. So far, over 10,000 athletes have been tested and 18 contracts handed out, with Arteta being brought in to play a leading role in the programme's development. Under Armour believes Arteta is a perfect fit for the position thanks to his excellent track record of providing young players with a platform to flourish during his Arsenal tenure. But the Spaniard himself is also keen to use his exceptional eye for talent and player development skills to make a meaningful impact in the city he now calls home. 'When we are sitting in our roles, we have a massive opportunity to transform people's lives and I really want to use that opportunity,' he said. 'I had people that made decisions, took chances and changed my life, changed the course of my life, my family and the way I live my life, and I want to do that as often as possible and as much as possible, and it can be in various ways and around football. 'With Under Armour, I think we have a massive opportunity to give so many people hope, opportunities and transform their lives, and make sure that everybody that is here, in London, and across Europe, can see that opportunity is possible and we're going to create that pathway for them. 'The least I can do is try to give back. I've been given so much and I've been given opportunity after opportunity and I try to surround myself with the best possible environment. "There's no better environment than this [Under Armour] and people who are so passionate about it and are very willing to transform peoples lives, transform products and be very creative about how to approach something with the level of passion and ambition that [founder and CEO] Kevin [Plank] is showing. It's not just to do something, but it's about being the best at something.' He added: 'When you have to have the sense that a player is prepared to handle a certain situation and has the personality to overcome certain exposure at this level. It's the most fulfilling thing. I've never felt so good as when I give an opportunity to someone and then they give it back – it's just phenomenal.' The announcement of Arteta's new role will be followed by a new football campaign from Under Armour, 'Be The Problem', which launches this Friday ahead of the start of the new football season. Under Armour believes Arteta embodies the campaign due to his 'elite tactical mind constantly seeking ways to disrupt teams'. 'Bringing Mikel on-board will revolutionise our football business and demonstrates how serious we are about leading the next generation of football,' said Plank. 'I have a great rapport with Mikel and admire how he constantly pushes himself and those around him through his disruptive thinking. For me there really is no one more qualified or suited to the role.' Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
