The fourth and final men’s Major of the year is almost here, with the best players in the world teeing up at the Open Championship from July 18-21.
The Open returns to the old course at Royal Troon Golf Club for the 10th time this year and the first time since Henrik Stenson’s triumph in 2016.
Brian Harman – who won the Claret Jug last year at Royal Liverpool – will defend his title in a stacked field including world No.1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau, who won the most recent Major at the US Open.
The Open will also feature Tiger Woods for the last time in the 2024 PGA Tour season, with the 15-time Major winner saying after the US Open that the Championship at Troon will be his last event.
Meanwhile, 2014 Open Champion Rory McIlroy will be hoping to break his 10-year Major drought.
