Open Championship tee times, groups, schedule, golfers to watch in Rounds 1 and 2

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler lead a loaded field of the world's best golfers at the 2025 Open Championship.

The Open Championship returns to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland in 2025, the home country of Rory McIlroy. The defending Masters champion is again among the favorites at the final major of the season for professional golf, but he'll be contending with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and a host of other contenders on this traditional links course.

Scheffler has never won the British Open before, while McIlroy has only won this tournament once (in 2014). Both have captured one major apiece in 2025, with Scheffler winning the PGA Championship in May.

The layout and strategy involved with links golf will negate some of the advantages typically enjoyed by the game's longest hitters off the tee. Xander Schauffele is the defending Open champion and Shane Lowry of Ireland won on home turf the last time the British Open was contested at Royal Portrush.

With the best golfers from both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf back together one last time this year, it's shaping up to be another memorable Open Championship across the pond. Here's a look at the tee times and groups for the first and second rounds of the 2025 British Open on Thursday, July 17, and Friday, July 18:
