Brian Harman will be eager to become the first golfer to win back-to-back
Open Championship trophies since Pádraig Harrington clinched the title in 2007 and 2008.
What to know about Harman
The American golfer won five professional tournaments including three PGA Tour events since he turned pro in 2009 having won two Walker Cups with Team USA.
Harman, who plays left-handed, finished as a runner-up at the 2017 US Open before winning his first and only golf major tournament at the 2023 Open Championship.
News
The man nicknamed the Butcher was in action at the recent 2024 Genesis Scottish Open in Scotland where he finished 21st.
The Butcher is currently placed 13th on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and his best overall ranking is eighth.
Why Harman is among the favourites
Harman won the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool by six strokes for his first major championship title, becoming only the third left-handed Open champion.
The 37-year-old, who finished second at the 2024 Players Championship in March, is among the favourites to win this weekend's Open Championship.
Quotes
“It's nice to be The Open Champion and still be doing the same thing that I would have been doing otherwise," Harman said ahead of the 2024 Open Championship.
“In my opinion, it's the coolest trophy in all of sports. I think it's deserving of all of the pageantry that is involved with it. “It's been a great year. I am a little sad to give it back.
"But I'll remember everywhere it's been forever. I'm happy to give it back, happy to be here.”
