Hundreds of thousands of spectators attend the annual event, now the final major of the year, with weekend tickets already sold out for The 149th Open at Royal St George's from July 13-19.
The 2019 contest at Royal Portrush saw record-breaking crowds for an Open Championship outside of St Andrews, where Shane Lowry was crowned Champion Golfer of the Year after his six-shot win.
The tournament was a week to remember for three generations of the Daly family, who got to attend The Open in Northern Ireland after winning the R&A's 'Star in our new film' campaign.
From their journey to the course to being up close and personal with the world's top players, every emotion and memory of their Open experience was captured in a special short video.
