That's what is on the line this week at the 2025 Open Championship as Royal Portrush hosts the final major of the season in Northern Ireland. Returning to the par 71 for the first time since 2019 -- only the third time The Open has ever been held outside of Scotland or England -- the R&A has set up a tournament that will do its best to identify the man most equipped to deal with the elements and emotional toll one experiences across four rounds of major championship golf.

The world’s finest golfers are teeing off at one of the sport’s oldest championships known as The Open. The competition is celebrating its 153rd year and is taking place at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.

Collin Morikawa can take solace in not being the only person to refer to golf’s oldest championship by its unofficial name. He delivered a victory speech as sterling as his performance at Royal St. George’s in 2021.
