The 2025 Open Championship (the 153rd edition) was held from 17–20 July 2025 at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, marking the third time the course hosted the major. Scottie Scheffler delivered a dominant performance with four sub-70 rounds and a total of 267, securing his first Open title and fourth major championship by a four-stroke margin over Harris English. The first round produced a five-way tie for the lead at 67—the largest since 1938—while Scheffler surged ahead in the second round with a 64, becoming the first world number one to hold the 36-hole lead at the Open since Tiger Woods in 2006. The cut fell at 143 (+1), with exactly 70 players advancing, while notable casualties included former champions Collin Morikawa, Cameron Smith, and Brooks Koepka. Organised by the R&A, the tournament featured a 156-player field and a three-hole aggregate playoff format in case of a tie, with the event also counting toward the PGA, European, and Japan Golf Tours.
