The pro golf world heads across the pond for the last major of the season, the 2023 Open Championship. For the oldest golf tournament in the world, 2023 marks the 151st edition of The Open Championship. For the 13th time, the Open Championship will be played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Wirral, Merseyside, England.

The betting favorites to win the Open Championship are Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm. Those three golfers are ranked first, second, and third in the World Golf Rankings, respectively. Cameron Smith, a member of LIV Golf and last year’s Open Championship winner, is back to defend his title. The action starts on Thursday, July 20, and runs through the weekend.
