Final qualifying for the 2025 British Open is set for Tuesday, July 1, at four golf courses in the United Kingdom. The R&A has released the list of 288 names who will battle it out for 20 spots at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, July 17-20.
Each of the four qualifying sites will advance five players after 36 holes to the final men's major of the season.
Burnham & Berrow, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire in England as well as Dundonald Links in Scotland are the host venues.
Notable names in final qualifying for 2025 British Open
Harry Hall, Erik van Rooyen, Alex Noren, Danny Willett and Eugenio Chacarra are among the notable names entered for Tuesday's final qualifier. Earlier this season, van Rooyen survived final qualifying to make the U.S. Open field.
There are 20 Americans who are entered, including Kyle Westmoreland, who is competing in this week's Korn Ferry Tour stop in Springfield, Illinois. If he makes the cut there, it'll be a tight turnaround from Sunday's final round to Tuesday's final qualifier.
In addition, there are 11 LIV golfers entered in final qualifying, including Ian Poulter, whose son Luke is in the same qualifier at Royal Cinque Ports. There are also 23 amateurs who will take their shot at making the Open field.
After July 1, the final chance for golfers to get into the field at Royal Portrush is for the top three finishers, if not already qualified, at the Genesis Scottish Open, July 10-13.

Texas OL coach says LT is locked down, but a camp battle is raging for RT

After filling in nicely when needed last year, redshirt sophomore Trevor Goosby will take over at left tackle this season on the Texas Longhorns offensive line. But Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood says the other side is still a position to be claimed. The 6-foot-7, 309-pound Goosby did a great job taking Kelvin Banks' place last year when the former Longhorn went down to an ankle injury. "We feel like he's a starter,' Sarkisian said in April. "I mean, he got thrust into the games against A&M, Georgia, Clemson. He was ready." Flood praised the redshirt sophomore's versatility in this week's media availability. "We got to a point last year where I said, 'OK, Trevor is our third tackle.' And he can play both sides. ... Trevor did a great job stepping in for us," Flood said. Left tackle is locked in with Goosby, but right tackle is another story. There are two players in a heated position battle for the key spot on the offensive line. "There's definitely going to be a camp battle," Flood said. "For sure. We've got a couple of guys that have been playing there in the spring in Andre Cojoe and Brandon Baker, who have done a really nice job. A really nice job. Both those guys have changed their bodies and improved their skill sets." Baker played in eight games during the 2024 season. Cojoe saw time in four games. Both players are sophomores. Flood says the quality of the Texas defense is a big advantage when getting the offensive side of the ball ready for the season. It's especially true in position battles. "I think one of the advantages we have is we're going to play against a really talented edge group in training camp," Flood said." So I think these guys are going to get challenged on a day to day basis." Either way, Flood is confident it will all work out. "We'll figure out in training camp how that all plays out," he said. "Both guys are going to go out and compete and we'll see how it plays out in training camp." Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.

Tour de France Femmes: Lorena Wiebes sprints to second stage win, Marianne Vos stays in yellow

Team SD Worx-Protime's Lorena Wiebes out-sprinted Team Visma Lease-A-Bike's Marianne Vos to win Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes, her second victory in as many days. Wiebes was able to secure her eighth Tour de France stage success, taking her to 109 career wins in total, but had Vos on her wheel the whole way in to Poitiers. The two best sprinters of this #TDFF2025 met again for an electric sprint. Like yesterday, it was @lorenawiebes who won ahead of @marianne_vos. Relive the last km of stage 4 💥 Les deux sprinteuses en forme de ce #TDFF2025 se sont encore donné rendez-vous pour un sprint… — Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (@LeTourFemmes) July 29, 2025 After starting in Saumur on the 130.7km stage, Ana Vitoria Magalhaes (Movistar) and Franziska Koch (Team Picnic PostNL) broke away and held off the peloton until inside the final four-and-a-half kilometres when they were eventually caught by the sprint teams. The leaders of all of the classifications stayed the same after Tuesday's sprint stage, with Vos in yellow (overall), Wiebes in green (points), Julie Bego in white (U-23) and Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) in the polka-dots (mountains). Advertisement 'It's really rewarding to do this for Lorena,' said Anna van der Breggen after the stage. 'If it's your moment, you need to do it. That pressure is kind of nice. 'You need to go fast. It's difficult to know exactly when you go in front, when is the moment…when she (Wiebes) is there in the end, you know she will find a gap. 'Happy that we have Lorena, she is an amazing rider and I feel honoured to work for her.' Van der Breggen returned from a three-season retirement in 2025. With only the mountain and hilly stages ahead left to race, the overall and mountain classifications will go through many evolutions before the final ninth day. United States champion Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) crashed in the final kilometres, having suffered off the back of the peloton post-crash for the majority of the Tour, but was back on her bike to finish the day. Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) also started and finished the stage, after a hard crash in the final kilometers of Monday's stage. Wednesday's Stage 5 will be the halfway point for the Tour de France Femmes, taking the peloton from Chasseneuil-du-Poitou (Futuroscope) to Gueret. It is a return to the hilly terrain before the riders tackle the mountains for the first time.

Jannik Sinner and Emma Navarro top list of US Open mixed doubles teams

The USTA confirmed 14 of the 16 teams Tuesday for the new U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament that has been reimagined with the goal of enticing top singles players to participate. Leading the entry list, at least in star power, will be No. 1 Jannik Sinner paired with American Emma Navarro and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz playing alongside 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Venus Williams, who came back to the tennis tour last week at age 45, received a wild-card entry to play with her longtime friend Reilly Opelka, the 6-foot-11 serve specialist currently ranked No. 74 in the world. The USTA announced its mixed doubles overhaul in June, hoping to bring eyeballs and pizzaz to an event that had fallen off the public's radar as tennis further stratified into singles and doubles specialists. Long gone are the days when top players like Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe would regularly play at least one doubles event at the Grand Slams. But with players now preferring to focus all their energy on singles, the USTA completely overhauled the format. Not only will mixed doubles now take place during qualifying week – the week before the main draw begins – the USTA also pumped up the prize money with $1 million going to the winning team. The first three rounds of the tournament will be played in a short format with sets to four instead of the normal six, no-ad scoring and a tiebreaker in lieu of a full third set. The final will be played with sets to six and a 10-point tiebreaker if there's a third set. Making the format friendly for players as they prepared for the main draw was enough to attract most of the top-10 on both the men's and women's tour to enter initially. The USTA awarded eight direct entries into the 16-team field based on the team's combined singles ranking and reserved eight wild cards to use at the tournament's discretion. Novak Djokovic, the all-time leader with 24 men's Grand Slam singles titles, received a wild card because he chose Olga Danilovic, a 24-year old Serbian ranked No. 40, as his partner. The last two wild cards will be announced closer to the tournament. There is also a possibility at least one team will be forced to withdraw, potentially opening up more spots in the field. Teams for the US Open mixed doubles tournament No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 11 Emma Navarro No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 33 Emma Raducanu No. 3 Alexander Zverev and No. 20 Belinda Bencic No. 4 Taylor Fritz and No. 12 Elena Rybakina No. 5 Jack Draper and No. 10 Paula Badosa No. 6 Novak Djokovic and No. 40 Olga Danilovic No. 7 Ben Shelton and Taylor Townsend (No. 1 in doubles) No. 9 Holger Rune and No. 7 Amanda Anisimova No. 12 Francis Tiafoe and No. 8 Madison Keys No. 13 Casper Ruud and No. 3 Iga Swiatek No. 14 Daniil Medvedev and No. 5 Mirra Andreeva No. 15 Tommy Paul and No. 4 Jessica Pegula Reilly Opelka and Venus Williams Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani (defending US Open champions)
