The final golf major of the 2025 season will see the Open Championship heading to Northern Ireland, with Royal Portrush staging the 153rd Open.<\/p>\n

It will be the third time Royal Portrush have played hosts to the oldest major.<\/p>\n

They staged the event for the first time back in 1951 – which was also the first time the tournament was held outside Great Britain.<\/p>\n

While more recently Royal Portrush entertained in 2019 – the 148th renewal, when they replaced their old 17th and 18th holes to make more room for spectators and hospitality.<\/p>\n

England’s Max Faulkner won the 1951 Open at Royal Portrush and Ireland’s Shane Lowry landed the 2019 running after seeing off Tommy Fleetwood by six strokes.<\/p>\n
