Photos: 2023 British Open practice rounds at Royal Liverpool

Are you ready for a little links golf?

Royal Liverpool will play host to the game’s oldest championship for the 13th time this week as the world’s best players are bound for England for the 2023 Open Championship.

Rory McIlroy, who won last week’s Genesis Scottish Open, lifted the Claret Jug the last time the British Open was held at Royal Liverpool in 2014, and he’ll need to go through defending champion Cameron Smith and a field full of 15 former Open champions if he plans to do so again. Not only will the winner walk away with the jug, they’ll also take home $3 million from the record purse of $16.5 million for this year’s championship, an 18% increase from 2022.

Get ready for the final men’s major of the season with the best practice round photos from the 2023 British Open at Royal Liverpool.
