The 2014 Open Championship was the 143rd Open Championship, held 17–20 July 2014 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Merseyside, England.
Rory McIlroy won his first Open Championship, two strokes ahead of runners-up Rickie Fowler and Sergio García, and became only the 6th player to win the tournament going wire-to-wire after 72 holes (being the sole leader after each round). It was McIlroy's third major title, having won the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship; he became the first European to win three different majors and joined Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as one of only three golfers since the first Masters Tournament started in 1934 to win three majors by the age of 25.
The 2014 event was the 12th Open Championship played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. The most recent was in 2006, with Tiger Woods winning his second consecutive Open Championship title, holding off Chris DiMarco with a two-shot victory. The first open at the venue was in 1897, won by amateur Harold Hilton by a stroke ahead of James Braid.
