The 144th British Open Championship starts on Thursday at the Home of Golf -- the Old Course at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
Rory McIlroy is on the shelve and will be the first player unable to defend the Claret Jug since Ben Hogan didn't make the return trip to the British Isles for the 1954 Open after winning the year prior at Carnoustie.

Woods, who won the Open at St. Andrews in 2000 and '05, looks to capture a 15th major and is going off at 25-to-1.
