Rory McIlroy became just the sixth man in history to win the career Grand Slam following victory at the Masters in April. This was McIlroy’s third victory of 2025 and his fifth major, making him just the sixth man (and first European) to achieve a modern career grand slam covering the Masters, the PGA Championship, The US Open & The Open Championship.

His victory in this tournament came back in 2014, and he has also finished 2nd, 3rd (twice), 4th, 5th & 6th in previous years.

He will be playing on home turf here with the event held at Royal Portrush. It is a course he knows all too well, with the Northern Irishman breezing around the venue almost 20 years ago to the day in 61 shots to set a course record. He was aged just 16 years old at the time.

His career victories include 29 wins on the PGA Tour & 19 on the European Tour.

After a poor performance at this course back in 2019 in his first round (before a second round 65), he will be desperate to compete and has been installed as second favourite. Paddy Power have priced him at just 1/9 to make the cut, so the 40/1 for new players is a huge boost on the standard odds available.
