It's expected to take place in 2019 but the R&A has no plans to make an official announcement this week about the return of The Open to Royal Portrush.

Royal Portrush's Dunluce Links will be ready for play in 2018 but will it get The Open in 2019 or 2020 as Donald Trump and Turnberry's Ailsa Course lurk in the background?

We’d almost forgotten all about the proposed changes to Royal Portrush for a possible 2019 staging of the Open Championship until architects Mackenzie & Ebert recently presented their proposed changes to Turnberry’s Ailsa Course in a slick video.
