And with nearly 50,000 fans expected through the Royal Portrush gates each day, there will be plenty of pints and pies sold over the course of the four days.
But there is a lot of talk around how much things cost this year.
The Open are charging £7.75 for a pint of Guinness, Singha beer or Angry Orchard cider.
That is an increase of 25p from last year as many sporting events bump up their prices amid rising costs.

However, it is still a steep cost, especially in Northern Ireland where prices are generally lower compared to premium London venues.
Some golf supporters went online to vent their views.
One told the Daily Mail: "£7.75 for a pint at a major sporting event is expensive however I see pubs in London charging similar prices every day."

Tearful Red Bull F1 staff ordered to ‘smile more' after being rocked by Christian Horner axe
TEARFUL staff rocked by Red Bull chief Christian Horner's axing have been ordered to 'smile more' by their new Austrian and German bosses. Loyal workers were stunned when the British Formula One team's supremo 3 Red Bull staff have been told to 'smile more' despite being upset over Christian Horner's exit Credit: AFP 3 The ace was brutally fired earlier this month in a surprise meeting Credit: AP He helped And sources told SunSport new Austrian boss Helmut Marko upset staff who gathered to meet him at the team's HQ in Milton Keynes — with some now threatening to quit. A female Red Bull worker revealed: 'It was only a day after Christian was sacked and a lot of the team were still upset when Mr Marko addressed us. 'But he just made a joke of it and told us to cheer up — he said, 'You need to smile more'. READ MORE IN F1 'It didn't endear him to anyone as what is there to smile about?' Horner's roles as chief executive officer and team principal have been usurped by Austrian team adviser Marko, 82, and German ex-football official Oliver Mintzlaff, 49. While French engineer and motorsport exec Laurent Mekies, 48, was quickly unveiled as Horner's replacement last week. But insiders have insisted Mintzlaff and Marko are now the men in the driving seat — and revealed their first address to staff at Milton Keynes was a 'car crash'. Most read in Motorsport BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Mintzlaff sparked more anger when he joked about the brutal axing of senior staff including Horner, chief marketing officer Oliver Hughes and director of communications Paul Smith. Horner was summoned to London on July 9 believing he was attending a regular team meeting. Christian Horner SACKED by Red Bull F1! Shock Departure After 20 Years But he was then relieved of his duties on the spot and put on gardening leave. Hughes and Smith were called into an office and also told they were no longer part of Red Bull's future. They were escorted out of the building after having their company devices taken from them — leaving hundreds of staff with no bosses to answer to. And another staff member told SunSport: 'Mintzlaff also said, 'If you have any problems, just text your line manager'. 'Then he added, 'Oh, and if you don't have a line manager any more, just text me!' and started laughing.' Red Bull supremo Horner knew nothing of the plans to get rid of him, 18 months after he was accused of a sexting scandal which broke the heart of his Spice Girl wife Geri, 52. And the £12million-a-year chief was replaced within 24 hours by Marko and Mintzlaff, who arrived to address staff members, 90 per cent of whom are British. Emotional Red Bull insiders spoke in depth for the first time yesterday over their shock at the loss of their boss. They also laid bare the chaos that is now gripping this once all-conquering F1 team. 3 And long-standing family friends who have spoken to Horner admitted he was left stunned by his ruthless removal. One told SunSport: 'Christian told me how hurt and betrayed he felt after all that he and Geri and their family have been through over the past 18 months. 'He was cleared twice over the texting scandal but is now on gardening leave and has still been given no explanation why he's lost the job he loved. 'Red Bull's Austrian bosses have always resented the fact that so much of their F1 success was down to a team that Christian built in Britain. 'That is what lies behind this — as well as the hangover from the terrible headlines last year. 'Christian was called to a London meeting and had no idea what it was about. 'He was just told, 'You have to be there' and was dumbfounded when he was ushered into a room and effectively sacked on the spot. 'It left him totally blindsided — he thought he'd been called in to speak about another issue. 'But the staff are nearly all Brits and are fiercely loyal to him and are now talking about walking out. 'It was a targeted attack for control of the race team because Red Bull's Austrian HQ didn't like a British man running their race team. 'But now the team is in chaos — Red Bull at Milton Keynes has hit the skids.' Red Bull's Austrian-based HQ was approached for comment yesterday.

Rory McIlroy strikes it rich despite Portrush Open heartbreak
Rory McIlroy will have to settle with a single major and a Career Grand Slam for 2025 after falling short at the Open Championship in Portrush. McIlroy seemed reinvigorated coming into this one after some patchy form post-Masters. And although he hit it far from his best, the five-time major winner did enough to get himself into the penultimate group on the final day of the Open. Trying to chase down eventual winner and world number one Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy finished in a tie for seventh and seven shots off Scheffler. But he still struck it rich, earning a cool €388,600 to add to his net worth, while Shane Lowry earned a not-so-shabby €58,800 for his week's work. Here is how much each player earned. Full Open Pay Out 1 Scottie Scheffler -17 $3,100,000 (€2,666,000)2 Harris English -13 $1,759,000 (€1,513,000)3 Chris Gotterup -12 $1,128,000 (€970,100)T4 Wyndham Clark -11 $730,667 (€628,800)T4 Matt Fitzpatrick -11 $730,667 (€628,800)T4 Haotong Li -11 $730,667 (€628,800)T7 Robert MacIntyre -10 $451,834 (€388,600)T7 Xander Schauffele -10 $451,834 (€388,600) T7 Rory McIlroy -10 $451,834 (€388,600) T10 Bryson DeChambeau -9 $304,650 (€261,000)T10 Corey Conners -9 $304,650 (€261,000)T10 Brian Harman -9 $304,650 (€261,000)T10 Russell Henley -9 $304,650 (€261,000)T14 Rickie Fowler -8 $240,000 (€206,400)T14 Nicolai Hojgaard -8 $240,000 (€206,400)T16 Jesper Svensson -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 Hideki Matsuyama -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 Tommy Fleetwood -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 John Parry -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 Justin Rose -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 Rasmus Hojgaard -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T16 Tyrrell Hatton -7 $185,258 (€159,300)T23 Maverick McNealy -6 $138,040 (€118,700)T23 J.J.

‘None of us could hang with him this week' – Rory McIlroy heaps praise on ‘amazing' Scottie Scheffler after Open win
The Holywood star could not mount the final-round charge he needed to come from six strokes behind the world number one and claim a dream win at Royal Portrush. But while the Masters champion expressed his admiration for Scheffler's brilliance on the Dunluce links and his dominance over the past few years, he is not discouraged. 'All I can do is focus on myself and try to play the best golf that I can,' McIlroy said after a closing 69 left him seven shots adrift of the Texan in a tie for seventh. 'I know that when I do that, I'll have my weeks where I'll contend and hopefully win.' Scheffler now needs only the US Open to match McIlroy and complete the career Grand Slam and the Down man was full of praise. 'Yeah, none of us could hang with Scottie this week,' he said as Scheffler shot 68 to win by four strokes from Harris English and by five from last week's Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup on 17-under-par. 'He's an incredible player. He's been dominant this week. Honestly, he's been dominant for the last couple years. He is the bar that we're all trying to get to. 'In a historical context, you could argue that there's only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run like the one that Scottie's been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive. 'Yeah, he's a very worthy winner. Also, he's a great person, and I think he's a wonderful ambassador for our game as well. I'm really happy for him and Meredith and his family.' It was an emotional week for McIlroy, who missed the cut when The Open returned to Royal Portrush in 2019 and he hopes to have at least one more chance to win a Claret Jug on home soil. 'I tried as best as I could to keep my emotions in check, especially walking up the last there and that reception,' McIlroy said. 'Look, it's been an awesome week. I've gotten everything I wanted out of this week apart from a Claret Jug, and that's just because one person was just a little bit better than the rest of us. 'It's been an amazing week. I feel so thankful and just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of this crowd. 'Hopefully I'll have one or two Opens left here, if the R&A decide to keep coming back, probably one while I'm still competitive and another one while I'm more grey than I already am. 'It's just been incredible to come back here and to play and at least feel like I had a chance today going out there. Just an awesome week. 'Honestly, I think Portrush has quickly turned into one of the best two or three venues that The Open goes to. Talk to every player this week, and they won't say one single bad thing about the golf course. 'Then I just think the way it sets up, from a logistical standpoint, I think the R&A have worked so well with the local government to make sure everything runs smoothly. "It's only been six years since 2019. I'm not sure Portrush is going to have The Open every six years, that would be nice, but I would obviously love it to keep coming back.' As for his final round, he admitted his failure to take advantage of big drives on the eighth and ninth and his double bogey at the 10th ended his slim hopes. 'I feel like I try my hardest every time I play,' he said. 'I'm not going to try even harder here. If anything, that's probably to my detriment. I felt like I did well. Eight, nine and 10 today were the ones that killed me. Not that I was never going to get to 17-under, I don't think. 'I could have maybe finished second, which would have been better than where I did finish, but only making par off those tee shots on eight and nine and then the double off of 10 after the flier, that did me in. Then I just tried to play a good back nine and finish as well as I could.' McIlroy won three times earlier this season — the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, The Players and the Masters — and he's now targeting an away Ryder Cup win. 'I feel like I'm getting back to where I want to be, and we've still got a lot of golf left this year with obviously Ryder Cup being the big one in there in September,' he said. 'I don't want to play too much leading up to that because I want to be fresh. So I'm looking forward to a few weeks off here. I'll reflect on what's been already a good year and start to get myself ready for that run up to the Ryder Cup.' As for watching Scheffler dominate the game, he had only one feeling. 'Admiration,' he said. 'I think all you can do is admire what he does and how he does it. I think what he does is one thing, but how he does it is another. 'He just goes about his business, doesn't do anything overly flamboyant, but he's the best at executing in the game right now. 'Yeah, he's been absolutely amazing over these past two to three years. As I said, all you can do is tip your cap and watch in admiration.'
