MCILROY MANIA
Yorkshire Evening Post
|July 16, 2025
The organisers of the Open Championship are confident they can manage 'McIlroy mania' on the tournament's return to Northern Ireland.
-
The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush is set to become the second-best attended in history, with almost 280,000 fans having snapped up tickets for the final major of the year.
The event was already a complete sellout before home favourite Rory McIlroy completed the career grand slam with his dramatic Masters victory at Augusta National.
Almost 1.1million people applied in the public ticket ballot last year, with 278,000 securing tickets across the practice days and four tournament days.
