The final Major of 2024 is upon us from the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland, as 156 of the world's best players tackle the Old Course in the Open Championship.
Returning to Royal Troon for the first time since Henrik Stenson's three-shot win in 2016, the sole Major on UK soil is set to be another closely-fought encounter as Brian Harman looks to go-back-to back after his win at Royal Liverpool in 2023.
The American won with a superb final round last year to finish on 13 under-par, defeating the chasing quartet which included Jon Rahm and Jason Day level in the chasing pack at –7.
Another US win at The Open would make it a clean sweep in this year's majors, with Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChembeau lifting the Masters, PGA Championship and US Open respectively so far.
It's the Claret Jug at stake on Scotland's west coast this weekend though, and The Sporting News has everything you need to know about how to watch this year's Open Championship from anywhere in the UK.
