Jon Rahm knows it has been 37 years since a Spaniard won The Open Championship, when Seve Ballesteros lifted his third Claret Jug in 1988.

The 153rd Open Championship begins Thursday at Royal Portrush. USA Network and Peacock will have wall-to-wall live coverage from Portrush, Northern Ireland, including these featured groups (all times EDT): Click here for the full tee times from the opening round of the men’s final major of the season.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but it's not on the island of Great Britain. So why is it hosting the “British” Open this week?

Rahm has a particular affinity for Ireland, having captured two Irish Opens here on a couple of the most beloved tracks on the island. He stormed to a six-shot win in the 2017 edition at Portstewart, which is just up the road from Portrush, and seized a second two years later at Lahinch in County Clare.

Xander Schauffele will look to defend his British Open title against a field led by Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler when the 153rd Open Championship begins at Royal Portrush on Thursday.

No one wins more than Scottie Scheffler these days. But as the year's final major nears, the world's No. 1 player finds himself asking what the point of it is.

We’ve reached the final men’s major championship of the year – and our final full-field ranking, as Scottie Scheffler leads the list of 156 players for The Open at Royal Portrush.

Rory McIlroy enters The Open Championship in much better than form compared to the U.S. Open. The 2025 Masters champion rounded back into form with a tie for sixth at the Travelers Championship and a tie for second at the Scottish Open.
