The 153rd Open Championship tees off at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, marking a homecoming for Rory McIlroy. The tournament, only the third held outside Scotland or Ireland, will see the world's best golfers compete across 72 holes. While Scottie Scheffler is the favorite, McIlroy's strong current form and home crowd support make him a significant contender. Live coverage, including leaderboard updates and analysis, will be available throughout the tournament.
