CROWNING GLORY

Rolex Testimonee Scottie Scheffler stamps his authority with his fourth major win at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

It wasn’t as much the final major of the year as it was a coronation.

Rolex Testimonee Scottie Scheffler blitzed the field at this year’s The Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club with a flawless display that awed the fans as well as steamrolled any pretenders to his world number one throne.

In a display of peerless precision and composure, the American triumphed at golf’s oldest major, expertly navigating the storied links of Northern Ireland to lift the coveted Claret Jug.

The victory marks Scheffler’s fourth major title and his first at The Open, making him just the eighth player in history to complete three legs of the career Grand Slam before the age of 30.

The Open is the final men’s major championship of the season, with the 2025 edition of the iconic event proving to be a hotly contested affair for the world’s best players seeking to claim one of sport’s most revered prizes. Royal Portrush, hosting the Championship for only the third time, once again proved itself a fitting and unforgettable venue.

Set against a backdrop of sweeping coastal views and formidable North Atlantic scenery, the course is celebrated not only for its natural beauty, but also for its compelling sequencing of holes. In 1951, Royal Portrush became the first venue outside Great Britain to host the major. Following a 68-year absence, the Championship returned to Northern Ireland in 2019.
