Brian Harman is the defending champion while Scottie Scheffler will look to continue a remarkable year.
Brian Harman will defend his title when the 152nd Open Championship takes place at Royal Troon from July 18-21.
All eyes will be on McIlroy to see how he reacts to the gut-wrenching events of June’s US Open, when he held a two-shot lead late in the final round but bogeyed three of the last four holes at Pinehurst to finish one behind Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy famously bounced back from his collapse in the final round of the 2011 Masters by winning his first major in the US Open two months later and did finish joint fifth at Troon in 2016, albeit a long way behind Stenson.
