Golf's oldest championship returns to Royal Portrush. It's the third time the British Open has gone to the Northern Ireland links. Shane Lowry won in 2019.

Let's take a look at the weather forecast for the 2025 Open Championship. Thursday will be the windiest day of the week, according to forecasters, who are calling for cloudy conditions with winds at 15-25 mph from the southeast. Expect temperatures in the upper 60s and rain showers for most of the day.

Players will be competing in threesomes on Thursday and Friday at Portrush. Padraig Harrington, the two-time Open champion from Ireland, will be hitting the opening tee shot early Thursday. The 53-year-old, who is the last player to win in back-to-back years (2007, 2008), is making his 28th appearance in the chamionship.
