The fourth and final major of the 2023 PGA Tour season starts this Thursday as the action gets underway at the 2023 Open Championship.
This year, the Royal Liverpool Golf Course in Hoylake hosts the event for the 13th time in its history which will run for four days between Thursday July 20 and Sunday July 23.
More than 260,000 fans are expected to be in attendance over the weekend, with the majority hoping that British favourite Rory McIlroy can win his first major title since he took victory at 2014 PGA Championship. The Northern Irish star took his only Open Championship crown to date back in 2014 when the Royal Liverpool Golf Club last hosted the event.

* Reported by ESPN
As noted by the Open Championship in 2022, additional prize money will be added if more than 70 golfers qualify for the final two rounds of play. Prize money was decreased by $125 per qualifying golfer in 2022, with the minimum dropped from $32,200 to $30,950.
Ties in the standings result in prize money being split among the respective golfers. If three golfers tie, the money is split three ways, and so on.
