Round 1 of the 2025 Open Championship gets underway on Thursday, July 17. Here your favorite golfer's tee time at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.

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.

The Open Championship prize purse for 2025 will be the same as the 2024's, a total of $17 million. The winner will claim a significant portion of the total, $3.1 million, while the runner-up will claim $ 1.7 million and the third place finisher will take home $1.1 million.

That distinction belongs to world No. 1 and reigning PGA champion Scottie Scheffler. Masters — and Grand Slam — champ McIlroy is a clear second choice, with Jon Rahm, who has three top-10s in his last four Open starts, third.

The Open has had 28 different winners aged 38 or older all-time, the same number as the Masters and U.S. Open combined.

Royal Portrush greens fees have nearly doubled in recent years. Here's what it costs to play the 2025 Open Championship host course.
