Overview

  • Jon Rahm has arrived at Royal Portrush confident in his form after declaring his play the best since winning the Masters in 2023.
  • He enters the 153rd Open fresh from a career-low 65 at Valderrama and a runner-up finish to Talor Gooch at LIV Andalucía.
  • Rahm is set to tee off in Thursday’s marquee grouping alongside defending champion Xander Schauffele and US Open winner J.J. Spaun.
  • A victory would make him only the second Spaniard after Severiano Ballesteros to lift the Claret Jug and the first to win three different majors.
  • Royal Portrush’s unpredictable weather and demanding links layout reward creative course management and precise shot control over pure distance.
