It is the scene of Shane Lowry's magnificent success two years ago.
The Open Championship will return to the scene of Shane Lowry's victory in four years time.
Organisers the R&A have confirmed that Royal Portrush in County Antrim will be the venue in 2025.

“The Open in 2019 was a massive success and showed just how much collective enthusiasm, passion and commitment there is to make Royal Portrush one of the leading venues for the Championship and to build a distinctive golf tourism brand for Northern Ireland. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from the Northern Ireland Executive, our partner agencies and, of course, from the Club and its members.
