A bumper field featuring 158 of the world’s best golfers are hoping to win the Claret Jug at the 152nd edition of The Open.

This year’s contest takes place at Royal Troon in South Ayrshire and it will be the first time since 2016 that the Scottish venue has hosted the famous major championship.

Scot Robert MacIntyre will be eager to lift the Claret Jug on home soil and heads to the first tee at 9:36am with momentum on his side after securing the top prize at last week’s Scottish Open.

All eyes will be on the usual suspects, however, including Rory McIlroy, who suffered a brutal final-round collapse at last month’s US Open as Bryson DeChambeau benefited, and world number one Scottie Scheffler.

The likes of LIV Golf defector Jon Rahm and PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele are also among the favourites to go all the way as the showpiece event of the British golf calendar begins.
