Photos: 2024 British Open practice rounds at Royal Troon

The final men’s major championship of the year is here.

The 2024 British Open is set to begin Thursday at Royal Troon in Scotland, but preparations have been underway since the weekend for the best golfers in the world. The last time the Open was at Troon in 2016, Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson pulled away from the field and battled it out, with Stenson coming out on top for his only major victory.

While neither is the favorite coming into this year, that would be reserved for Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy, it’s going to be a fun week of links golf, and it officially kicked off Monday with practice rounds.

Here’s a look at the best photos from practice rounds at Royal Troon:
