The only major that takes place outside the United States, its rich history dates to 1860, one year before the start of the American Civil War.
All eyes will be on Tiger Woods at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland as he attempts to win his second major of the year, a feat he last accomplished in 2006. Woods finished in a tie for 21st at the U.S. Open, his most recent tournament. His resurgence on the PGA Tour first reached a fever pitch when he finished in the top 10 at the British Open last year, and his 10 career top-10 finishes at the major makes him one of the most experienced golfers in the field.
Even with the time difference in the United Kingdom (five hours ahead of the U.S.’s East Coast), there are a variety of ways to watch the British Open online so that you catch all the action over the four days.

British Open live stream
The British Open takes place on another continent, so it may not be as convenient to watch as most other tournaments, but don’t let that deter your viewing experience. There are multiple ways to live-stream the British Open. Both NBC Sports and the Golf Channel provide a free stream, as does The Open’s official website.
You can also stream all four rounds by signing up for fuboTV, which offers a free seven-day trial.
