The Open Championship 2025 Tee Times: McIlroy paired with Fleetwood, Scheffler with Lowry

The Open returns to Northern Ireland this week for the 153rd edition of the tournament, with 156 golfers heading to Royal Portrush aiming to lift the iconic Claret Jug on Sunday.

We've taken a look at The Open Championship 2025 tee times which feature a host of familiar names and former champions. 

Two-time Open champion Padraig Harrington will hit the opening tee shot on Thursday morning at 06:35 BST.

Harrington won back-to-back Open titles in 2007, when the tournament was hosted at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland, and in 2008 at Royal Birkdale in Southport.

Among the marquee groups to look out for, Rory McIlroy, who's aiming for a second major of the year after his emotional Masters triumph at Augusta in April, has been given an afternoon tee time of 15:10 BST for round one, alongside PGA champion Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood.

World number one Scottie Scheffler is on the opposite side of the draw alongside Collin Morikawa and Shane Lowry, who won when The Open was last held at Royal Portrush back in 2019 - that trio get underway at 10:09 BST. Lsat year's victor Xander Schauffele partners US Open champion JJ Spaun and Jon Rahm, and they tee off at 09:58 BST.

Scheffler, who has top-10 finishes in each of his last 10 worldwide starts and has already won three times this season, including the PGA Championship, remains the outright favourite for the Claret Jug at 5/1.

Second fav is McIlroy, who's hoping to claim a second Open Championship and second major of the year on home soil, at 13/2, followed by Rahm at 11/1, who finished tied-second in this tournament in 2023.

Defending champion Schauffele is 18/1 along with Fleetwood, who is still awaiting his maiden win on the PGA Tour.
