Australian star Cameron Smith claimed victory last year with a magnificent 20-under score at St Andrews. He finished one stroke ahead of Cameron Young and two ahead of Rory McIlroy, who led the field going into the final round before posting a disappointing 70 to let the lead slip.
McIlroy returns this year following a string of near misses in the biggest tournaments. He has finished inside the top eight in six of his last seven majors but has failed to convert promising form into tangible trophies.
Fans will be right behind Rory as he seeks to finally end his nine-year major drought, though it won't be easy with the cream of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf crop set to compete for the Claret Jug.
