2025 The Open Championship PGA Online Betting
The final major of the year is The Open Championship, held in mid to late July. The tournament, also known as the British Open, is the oldest of the four majors and is held in the United Kingdom. The tournament is always held in England, Scotland or it is held in Northern Ireland. The 2025 event will be the 153rd playing of the championship and it will take place at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. It will be the third time that Royal Portrush will play host to the Open. The last time the Open Championship was held at Royal Portrush was in 2019 when Shane Lowry thrilled local fans with a six-shot win over Tommy Fleetwood. Some of the top contenders to win the 2025 Open Championship are World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship in May, World No. 2 Rory McIlroy who won the Masters in April and defending champion Xander Schauffele. The Open Championship has been very unpredictable, as in the past 15 years, there has been a different winner every year.
Catch all of the action at The Open Championship from Thursday, July 17 through Sunday, July 20.
