The British Open Championship field is headed by every top 50 player in the world (except Kevin Na, who is injured), including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas.

The event is played this year at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, hosting for the first time since 1951.
