The 2025 Open Championship, one of golf’s most prestigious major tournaments, is set to make its highly anticipated return to Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland . Scheduled for July 17–20, 2025 , this championship marks another historic chapter for the famed links course—and for the game itself. As the world’s best golfers prepare to tee it up on this storied stage, VESSEL once again takes the spotlight as the official bag partner of The Open, showcasing its signature craftsmanship, innovation, and performance design on golf’s most iconic stage.
A Legendary Course: Royal Portrush Golf Club
Founded in 1888, Royal Portrush is no stranger to golf’s elite. Perched along the rugged Antrim coast, the Dunluce Links course offers a breathtaking and brutally honest test of links golf. With panoramic views of the North Atlantic Ocean and dramatic dunes that shape every hole, Portrush is revered for its beauty—and feared for its bite.
The last time Royal Portrush hosted The Open in 2019, crowds witnessed Irishman Shane Lowry capture a fairytale victory in front of home fans. His commanding win and emotional celebration cemented Portrush’s place in modern Open Championship lore. In 2025, the game returns to this iconic venue, promising more unforgettable moments.
