After the recent actions of Just Stop Oil protestors at multiple events and sports tournaments, Merseyside Police are on high alert for possible protests at Hoylake, with oddsmakers making The Open favourite to be the next target for campaigners.
It's happened at The Ashes, the Snooker World Championship and even the Gallagher Premiership Final between Saracens and Sale Sharks. However, according to the Chief Executive of The R&A, Martin Slumbers, a senior player in last year's Open Championship was reportedly targeted by an environmental activist.
