Francesco Molinari will be out to defend his British Open title when the tournament gets underway on Thursday at Royal Portrush in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Italian is part of a star-studded field aiming for glory in the final major of 2019 but is seen as an outsider for the title heading into the tournament.
Rory McIlroy is among the favourites to lift the Claret Jug and can expect plenty of support from the home fans as he bids to win the title for the second time in his career.
PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka is also expected to be in contention, while Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Tiger Woods are also fancied by the oddsmakers.
