The final men’s golf major of the year, the Open Championship, takes place this week out of Northern Ireland. Also known as the British Open (although some fans revile that term), the Open will begin Thursday with players teeing off in threesomes. Last year’s winner, Xander Schauffele, will be competing for his second consecutive Champion Golfer of the Year title, along with more of the top players from this year’s tour, including No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Justin Thomas.
Fans can tune in to the action across several channels and platforms, including NBC, USA, Golf Channel and Peacock; here’s a comprehensive rundown of how to watch the Open Championship this week, and here’s how you can keep an eye on the leaderboard all week.
