The 153rd Open Championship will begin at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland on Thursday.

Irish golfer Shane Lowry is among the favorites as the tournament returns to the course for the first time since his win in 2019.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who make up the top two golfers in the world, respectively, will also be among the field.

Scheffler earned his first PGA Championship in May, five strokes ahead of fellow Americans Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley.

McIlroy, a Northern Irishman, is coming off a successful start to the year, winning the Masters, the Players Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. A 16-year-old McIlroy shot a 61, setting a course record, at the golf club back in 2005 during the North of Ireland Championship. He also had his struggles at the venue, missing the cut in 2019 when the Open tournament was last held there.
