There is six Irishmen in the field, including former Open champions Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke, and Shane Lowry.
Brian Harman will defend his title after his victory last year at Hoylake, as he beat the nearest competition by six shots to claim his first ‘claret jug’.
The field for this week’s tournament is very strong as both the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf players come together for the final major of the year.
This year, I have a feeling that the winner of the 2024 Open Championship will be a player that is yet to win a major championship, like Ludvig Aberg or Tommy Fleetwood – but of course, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Scottie Scheffler lift his first Open Championship.
The golf begins at 6:35am on Thursday morning, while Rory McIlroy will begin his first round 10:09am.
