The PGA Tour heads to Hoylake, England for The 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club following Rory McIlroy's win at the Scottish Open.

McIlroy now returns to Royal Liverpool, the site of his first Open Championship victory in 2014, in search of his fifth major championship. As of Tuesday afternoon, he is tied as the betting favorite at +800 to win The Open Championship outright at bet365. The Northern Irishman now has six consecutive top-nine finishes and ranks second on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green this season. In his last seven starts at The Open Championship, McIlroy has five top-five finishes, including a solo third-place result at St. Andrews last year.

The reigning Champion Golfer of the Year, Cameron Smith, has the fourth-shortest odds to retain the Claret Jug at +1600. The Aussie has been gaining momentum recently as he has finished in the top 12 in eight straight events, including a win at LIV London in his last start. Smith also is coming off of consecutive top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship (T9) and the U.S. Open (fourth).

Scottie Scheffler entered The Open Championship with the second-shortest outright odds at +700 at bet365, but he has since lengthened to +800 as of Tuesday afternoon, and he is tied with McIlroy for the shortest odds to win. The Texas Longhorn leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Approach, SG: Off the Tee, SG: Tee to Green and SG: Total this season and now has seven consecutive top-five finishes after finishing in a tie for third at the Scottish Open. The 2022 Masters winner and the world No. 1 has finished T8 in 2021 and T21 in 2022 in his two Open Championship appearances and looks to win his second major championship this week.

Jon Rahm heads to Royal Liverpool with the third-shortest outright odds at +1200. The Spaniard has played in just one tournament since his 10th-place finish at the U.S. Open, a missed cut at the Travelers Championship — his only missed cut in 17 starts this season. The 11-time PGA Tour winner and reigning Masters champion is looking for his third major championship this week. The Arizona State Sun Devil has finished in the top 11 in two of his last three Open Championship appearances.

Viktor Hovland heads to Hoylake at +2000 odds to win his first major championship. The Norwegian has only played in two Open Championships, but he has made the most of his chances with a T12 in 2021 and a T4 in 2022 at St. Andrews. Hovland has finished in the top 29 in six consecutive starts on Tour, including a T2 at the PGA Championship and a win at the Memorial Tournament.

PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka is the final golfer with odds of 20-1 or shorter to win the Open Championship at +2000. The five-time major winner is looking for his first Open Championship win this week. Koepka has finished in the top 10 in four of his last six Open Championship starts, and he has finished in the top 17 in all three majors this year. The Florida State Seminole played at Royal Liverpool in the Open Championship in 2014 and finished T67 in what was the fifth major championship start of his career.

Course Preview

Royal Liverpool Golf Club is a 7,383-yard par-71 with three par-5s, four par-3s and 11 par-4s. The club has a rich history dating back to 1869 and will host its 13th Open Championship this week. Past Open Championship winners at Hoylake include Tiger Woods (2006), McIlroy (2014), Bobby Jones (1930) and Walter Hagen (1924).

Royal Liverpool will look different than it did when McIlroy won here in 2014 as more than a dozen changes have been made to the course — Martin Ebert, who consults seven of the 10 Open Championship courses, oversaw the recent changes at Hoylake. Notably, the 17th hole, which was previously a par-4, is now a 136-yard par-3, and the 10th hole, which was previously a 532-yard par-5, is now a 507-yard par-4 (par was previously 72 here in 2014 when the course played at 7,312 yards).

The stage for The 151st Open.

Hole 1 – Royal.

Par 4. 459 yards.
