Among the competitors, Rory McIlroy stands strong with the belief of ending his nine-year major drought. Having previously triumphed at this venue in 2014, he enters the tournament with great confidence. McIlroy is scheduled to tee off on Thursday afternoon in a high-profile group alongside his Ryder Cup teammates, Justin Rose and Jon Rahm.

Notably, McIlroy displayed exceptional form during the recent Scottish Open, where he snatched victory from home favorite Bob MacIntyre by brilliantly birdieing the final two holes despite adverse weather conditions. His impressive performance on the links course last week adds weight to his aspirations of lifting the esteemed Claret Jug by the tournament’s end on Sunday.

Nonetheless, the competition is fierce, and numerous other contenders vie for the coveted Hoylake crown. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler partners with the in-form local favorite, Tommy Fleetwood, as they tee off together on Thursday afternoon. The defending champion, Cameron Smith, is determined not to relinquish the Claret Jug without putting up a formidable fight. Additionally, Viktor Hovland appears to be on the cusp of claiming his first major title, while the experienced five-time major winner, Brooks Koepka, cannot be underestimated in the challenge for the championship.

As the Open Championship tees off, fans and enthusiasts eagerly anticipate a gripping battle of skills and nerves on the links, where history will unfold and a new champion will rise to glory
