It won't go down in history like Rory McIlroy's opening tee shot at Royal Portrush in 2019, but K.J. Choi's first swipe at the ball on Thursday at the Open Championship may have been worse. And his ball stayed in bounds.

The Open Championship begins Thursday morning at Royal Portrush with the best golfers in the world vying for the final major of the season in Northern Ireland. This 2025 Open will result in some early mornings -- or late nights, depending on your vantage point -- for fans stateside if they hope to keep up with their favorite players.

Tyrrell Hatton: The LIV Golf member played well in the U.S. Open with a tie for fourth and he tied for sixth in the British Open at Royal Portrush in 2019. Hatton also had a solid Masters (tie for 14th) and will be a bulldog if he's close to the lead on Sunday.
