Open Championship 2023: Betting Odds, Preview, Power Rankings

Golf's 4th and final major of the year — 2023 Open Championship — heads to the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, aka "Hoylake", in Merseyside, England. This is the third time since 2006 the Open will be at Royal Liverpool.

Tiger Woods won his second consecutive Open Championship at Hoylake in 2006. Rory McIlroy was the Champion Golfer of the Year in 2014 at Royal Liverpool. Hoylake has been lengthened since 2014 and turned into a Par 71.
