The 2025 Open Championship will be played at Royal Portrush this season, with action taking place from July 17-20 at the private club in County Antrim in Northern Ireland opened in 1888. Rory McIlroy took some pressure off by completing the career grand slam at the 2025 Masters, but the intensity could ratchet back up given the setting next week. McIlroy is from Northern Ireland and was the betting favorite when the Open Championship was last held at Royal Portrush in 2019, but shot an opening-round 79 and missed the cut.
The silver lining to that performance was that McIlroy did shoot 65 on Friday and he did have a top-10 finish at Royal Portrush in the 2012 Irish Open. Now McIlroy is listed at +700 in the 2025 Open Championship odds while Scottie Scheffler is listed as the +450 favorite as the action is set to begin Thursday morning.

2025 Open Championship predictions for Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau
One shocker the model is calling at the Open Championship 2025: Rory McIlroy, a five-time major champion, stumbles this week and falls outside the top three. The 36-year-old is now a five-time major champion and is one of only six golfers to complete the modern grand slam after winning the 2025 Masters. He’s also the 2014 Open Championship winner, but he didn’t fare well while facing enormous pressure at Royal Portrush in 2019.
The Northern Irishman missed the cut at the first Open Championship played in Northern Ireland in nearly 70 years despite being the betting and rooting favorite. He’s also failed to crack the top five in each of the five solo events that he’s played since winning at Augusta and missed the cut at last year’s Open Championship.
The model has also locked in its projection for Scottie Scheffler, who is now a three-time major champion after winning the PGA Championship earlier this year. He’s unquestionably the best player in the world right now after piling up 16 wins on the PGA Tour since Feb. 2022, but he has had a few difficulties in the Open Championship. He hasn’t cracked the top five in any of his four starts in golf’s oldest major and was outside the top 20 twice.
However, he has been inside the top 25 in all four of his Open Championship starts and was top 10 twice, including a career-best t-7th finish last year at Royal Troon. He’s top 25 in all four major strokes gained categories on the PGA Tour this season and his improvements to his all-around game, particularly his putting, are a big reason why he could finally be a factor in an Open Championship.
Meanwhile, the model has examined Bryson DeChambeau’s chances of winning a third major. The 31-year-old has piled up 14 worldwide wins, and he’s helped modernize the game in more ways than one, with single-length clubs, an analytical style and an army of social media followers. He’s also become one of the biggest major championship threats in golf, with six top-six finishes in majors the last three seasons and two major wins.
However, he’s coming off a missed cut at the U.S. Open, and he’s also struggled to adapt to links golf. He’s missed the cut in three of his seven career starts at Open Championships and has only recorded one top-25 finish, though it was a respectable T-8 in 2022. He’s a different player since missing the cut at Royal Portrush in 2019, but will his playing style work in an Open Championship setting?

Luxemburgo em ação durante jogo do Campeonato Brasileiro (Créditos: Buda Mendes/Getty Images)Vanderlei Luxemburgo não titubeou ao se posicionar no debate do programa “Galvão e Amigos” desta segunda (14) cravando que João Pedro e Kaio Jorge merecem ser testados na seleção brasileira com Carlo Ancelotti. No entendimento dele, a dupla representa o novo estilo do futebol no quesito ofensivo, onde um homem de referência não fica mais ‘plantado’ em uma posição fixa na área adversária. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADENo comentário feito, ele disse os atacantes de Chelsea e Cruzeiro, respectivamente, possuem valências parecidas, e vão ‘incomodar’ Ancelotti no bom sentido, justamente por se deslocarem para todos os lados do comando ofensivo. Contratado pelos Blues por altas cifras, o cria de Xerém foi protagonista no Mundial de Clubes, sendo algoz do Flu. Kaio Jorge, por sua vez, é artilheiro do Brasileirão com 11 tentos […]

Filipe Luís no comando do Flamengo - Foto: Wagner Meier/Getty ImagesA grande notícia do futebol no fim de semana não foi o retorno do Brasileirão, nem as vitórias de Flamengo e Cruzeiro, entre outras, mas sim o esporro público dado pelo técnico Filipe Luís no atacante Pedro. Para Vanderlei Luxemburgo, o comandante do time carioca errou ao fazê-lo, pois acabou por depreciar um dos jogadores mais valorizados no Brasil. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEEm participação no programa “Galvão e Amigos”, na Band, na noite da última segunda-feira (14), Luxa avaliou o ocorrido. Esses assuntos são resolvidos internamente. Uma discussão com o grupo, com todo mundo lá.
