The Open has had 28 different winners aged 38 or older all-time, the same number as the Masters and U.S. Open combined.

The first day of the 2025 Open Championship is expected to be rainy, with periods of heavy rain that could accumulate up to a quarter of an inch. The high temperature is expected to be around 69 degrees, with a low of 57 degrees, and winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour, according to The Weather Channel.

The Post’s Mark Cannizzaro makes his picks for this week’s Open championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Royal Portrush is not only open to visitors, but its yearly membership dues are what the average American golfer spends on public tee times.

Here is what we can expect from the weather in Portrush throughout the tournament. A thunderstorm warning is in place from 11am to 8pm. During this period, the Met Office has advised heavy showers and storms may cause travel disruption.

Rain showers can be expected at times for the 153rd Open Championship, which is being hosted on the coast of Northern Ireland.

World number one Scottie Scheffler is the favourite on golf betting sites, with local hero Rory McIlroy next on the market. McIlroy is aiming to follow in the footsteps of his good friend Shane Lowry, who was the champion golfer in 2019 - the last time Portrush hosted the tournament.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but it's not on the island of Great Britain. So why is it hosting the “British” Open this week?

As the best players in the world prepare for this 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush, it’s important to note just how different Irish golf – and particularly this one – is from those classic Scottish or English rota courses.
