The Open tournament always brings the necessary adrenaline and excitement, and golf fans seem to have never been more excited than they are now. There is still a little left until the start of the last major this year, and among the main characters of this prestigious tournament will be Irish golfers, five of them to be exact.
Rory McIlroy, the golfer who will perform at the Genesis Scottish Open, will certainly attract the most attention.
In addition to the Northern Irish golfer, the experienced Padraig Harrington, a golfer who is keeping momentum after a brilliant performance at the US Senior Open, will be part of this tournament.
The future of Irish golf doesn’t look so dark thanks to Tom McKibbin, the young golfer who will compete in this tournament; but under the flag of LIV Golf, the controversial tour that isn’t exactly popular among golf fans.
There is also Darren Clarke, who won this prestigious tournament in 2011, having an exception for the next four years.
As the last representative of Irish golf, Shane Lowry is motivated to do great things at this tournament, having shown many times so far that courses like this suit him.
Rory McIlroy
Looking at these names, it is clear that Rory McIlroy is by far the strongest favorite to win among Irish golfers, but his recent form does not give much optimism that he will actually take such an important step and win.
Basically, McIlroy, together with Scottie Scheffler, will attract the most attention, and it is clear that fans and experts give them the best chance to lift the prestigious trophy.
Although these expectations create pressure, two quality golfers certainly have the potential to write history on this tournament.
The tournament starts in nine days at Dunluce Course, and we hope that this year’s edition will offer us everything like the previous one: Adrenaline, great game, courage and excitement.
