Welcome to this week’s Golfing Mind. In this special episode, “THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW 2025,” we’re turning our focus to the upcoming Open Championship at Royal Portrush, set for July 17–20. Whether you’re a casual fan or a serious bettor, we’ve got you covered with an expert breakdown of course conditions, player form, and our keenly awaited picks.

We’ll begin by mapping out Portrush’s signature challenges—the heaving dunes, strategic bunkers, and seaside wind patterns that demand precision off the tee and creativity around the greens. Next, we’ll analyze this year’s top contenders—our updated top‑10 list including Scheffler, McIlroy, Rahm, defending champ Schauffele, and surprise sleepers like Hovland—with fresh angle predictions based on recent stats and Open history.

Joined from Salisbury, NC, by Matt Barr and from Atlanta, Georgia with Bob Ross, we delve deep and share our thoughts and observations.

So grab your earbuds, settle in, and let’s tune our mental “mindware” to the rhythm of Royal Portrush—because championship week is here, and the Golfing Mind is primed to unlock it all.
