The upcoming British Open at Royal Troon holds historical significance with its challenging holes, including the iconic Postage Stamp and remarkable par-4 collection, creating a unique test for golfers. Henrik Stenson's record-setting victory in the last Royal Troon event contrasts with Brian Harman's initial major win at Royal Liverpool. Notable players to watch at the 152nd British Open include those with memorable past performances like Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, while Swedish golfer Ludvig Aberg leads the Genesis Scottish Open. However, some PGA Tour stars, including Matsuyama and Spieth, missed the cut at the Scottish Open, impacting their tournament journey. Ahead of the Open, the field's rankings, including Tiger Woods' challenging position and past champions like David Duval and Todd Hamilton, add layers of anticipation and uncertainty to the upcoming event at Royal Troon.
