How to watch the Open Championship
We’ve reached the final men’s major of the year. It’s the last chance the world’s best players, such as defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Masters champ Rory McIlroy, have to add to their career resumes, and the last opportunity for majorless pros, like hometown hero Tommy Fleetwood, to secure their first major title in 2026.
Royal Birkdale in England will host this 154th Open. The last time Birkdale played host in 2017, Jordan Spieth captured his first Claret Jug and third major title. Spieth arrived in Southport early to prep for his attempt at a second Birkdale Open title.
