Golf's oldest championship returns to Royal Portrush. It's the third time the British Open has gone to the Northern Ireland links. Shane Lowry won in 2019.

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.

Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland is hosting The Open Championship for the third time and native son Rory McIlroy is a favorite.

Bryson DeChambeau is open to ideas as he bids to improve his poor record at the British Open, where handling the fickle weather can be the key to success.

Royal Portrush is not only open to visitors, but its yearly membership dues are what the average American golfer spends on public tee times.
