A tidal wave of McIlroy mania is set to engulf the fully booked Open at Royal Portrush, creating an atmosphere befitting the most monumental sports event ever in Northern Ireland. R&A's top brass has made it known that the new Masters champion has "unfinished business" from his home turf Major following a disappointing missed cut in 2019.

McIlroy mania has given a lift to this summer’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush with a record 278,000 fans expected at the iconic Dunluce links. The chance to glimpse the new US Masters champion in action in his own backyard has clearly translated into record ticket sales outside of St Andrews for the event, which takes place from July 17-20.
