The 153rd Open

The prestigious championship will return to Royal Portrush from 13th-20th July and work has already begun to ensure the major sporting event is even more memorable than 2019.

The 148th Open, held at Royal Portrush nine years ago, became the biggest sporting event ever held in Northern Ireland, delivering a combined economic and media benefit of more than £100 million to the region.
