Golf expert Sia Nejad has revealed his Open Championship 2025 picks and PGA best bets for Royal Portrush, beginning Thursday, July 17

The Open has had 28 different winners aged 38 or older all-time, the same number as the Masters and U.S. Open combined.

The first day of the 2025 Open Championship is expected to be rainy, with periods of heavy rain that could accumulate up to a quarter of an inch. The high temperature is expected to be around 69 degrees, with a low of 57 degrees, and winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour, according to The Weather Channel.

So here is our final major big board of the year, ranking the top 30 golfers in the field. This is not simply the 30 best golfers in a vacuum. These are the 30 golfers that our crack team of Gabby Herzig, Hugh Kellenberger and Brody Miller believe are best suited to win this week at Royal Portrush.

Take notes, PGA Tour. One of the best Open Championship traditions going—punishing drop zones—is back for the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush. Golf.com's Dylan Dethier captured two photos of some of the nastier drop zones the R&A implemented this year: That's the good stuff.

With regards to the Open Championship specifically Rahm has also been on a heater as of late. With the exception of 2022 (T34) Rahm has top 10 finishes since 2021 (in order... T3, T2 and T7 last year). Golf is a game where crazy things can happen, but the point here is that Jon Rahm is sort of hiding in plain sight.
