The British Open returns to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this weekend for the 153rd Open Championship. It's just the third time in history that Royal Portrush has hosted the major tournament.
The Open was first held at Royal Portrush in 1951, but then took a 68-year hiatus before returning in 2019. The course is included in the tournament's rotation of nine courses that host the major. These now three instances of Royal Portrush hosting the Open mark the only three times the tournament has been played outside of England and Scotland.
