The Open begins Thursday morning at Royal Portrush as the best golfers in the world vie for the final major of the season in Northern Ireland. This 2025 Open Championship will result in some early mornings -- or late nights, depending on your vantage point -- for fans stateside if they hope to keep up with their favorite players.

Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Shane Lowry... Yes, we know, we know. But what about the guys no one is talking about? The sleepers? Surely there will be a name or two, like Dan Brown last year at Troon, that pop up early and perhaps even late on that big, yellow leaderboard at Royal Portrush.
