Because The Open Championship is a major tournament (equivalent to the Grand Slam tournaments in tennis), almost all the strongest golfers in the world are present.

Notable among these are world number one Scottie Scheffler (USA), former world number one Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas (all Americans), Jon Rahm (Spain), current Olympic champion Xander Schauffele (USA), current Olympic runner-up Hideki Matsuyama (Japan).
In addition, the tournament also features the presence of former world number 2 Collin Morikawa (USA), Viktor Hovland (Norway), or the "old man" of the world golf village Phil Mickelson (USA)...

Among them, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson and even the 2024 US Open champion (also one of the major tournaments) Bryson DeChambeau, although they have switched to competing in the LIV Golf system, and no longer compete on the PGA Tour (equivalent to the nature of the Masters tournaments in tennis), still return to compete in The Open Championship.
The tournament will take place from July 18 to July 21 (European time), at the Royal Troon Golf Club complex, in South Ayrshire (Scotland).
The total prize value of The Open Championship this year is 17 million USD (more than 430 billion VND), a quite high number.
