​HRH the Duke of York attended the Championship as past Captain of the R&A and was greeted by Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of County Antrim, Mr David McCorkell, which was his first Royal Visit since taking over as Lord-Lieutenant from Mrs Joan Christie, CVO, OBE.

The title of the Champion Golfer of the Year for 2019 was appropriately won by Irishman Shane Lowry.
