If you were asking yourself ‘when is the Open?’ or ‘where is the Open Championship 2023’ then you’re in luck as we explain all in this post!
Royal Liverpool Golf Club has hosted the Open Championship 12 times in its history which puts it fifth on the list of courses to host the most Open Championships.
The most recent time that Royal Liverpool hosted The Open was in 2014.
McIlroy finished on -17 for the tournament which was two shots better than both Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia who came T2nd on -15.
The Northern Irish golfer is the last person to win The Open at Royal Liverpool with his victory in 2014 so the course form is certainly working in his favour ahead of this Open Championship. The four-time major champion has underwhelmed in the big events so far in 2023.
The Hollywood native missed the cut at The Players Championship and then went on to miss the cut at the Masters having started the tournament as the betting favourite. McIlroy played brilliantly at last year’s Open but just couldn’t buy a putt in the final round which meant he would have to settle for a 3rd place finish and yet more major disappointment.
The reigning Masters Champion could potentially go into the 2023 Open with the chance of completing the career Grand Slam if he wins this year’s USPGA Championship.
Rahm’s best finish at The Open is T3 which he achieved in 2021 at Royal St George’s. Apart from that T3 finish in 2021 the Spaniard has not performed well in this tournament with no other top 10s in his five other Open Championship starts.
With that being said, Rahm has won the Irish Open twice, in 2017 at Portstewart and in 2019 at Lahinch so he certainly knows his way around a links golf course.
Scheffler put in another solid performance at the 2023 Masters as he defended his title with a T10 finish. It wasn’t his best performance but still a respectable tournament defence. Earlier in the year Scheffler won The Players Championship which is often described as ‘golf’s fifth major’.
The American’s best finish at The Open came in 2021 when he finished in a tie for 8th. His only other appearance at The Open came last year in 2022 when he ended the tournament in a tie for 21st place.
Woods did come in a tie for 8th at the 2018 Open but has failed to make the cut at this tournament in his two appearances since then. If there is a major that Tiger can win then you’d have to pick The Open as golf knowledge and course knowledge is at its most important on links golf.
The 15-time major champion has also previously won The Open at Royal Liverpool when it hosted the event in 2006. Woods finished on -18 that year, two shots better than Chris DiMarco.
