British Open tee times for Rounds 1 and 2, how to watch and more
The stage is set for the final major tournament of the 2023 men's professional golf season, the British Open.
Play begins Thursday at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England, as Cameron Smith defends the title he won last year at St. Andrews.
The last time the Open Championship was played at Royal Liverpool, Rory McIlroy emerged victorious, besting Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia by two strokes.
McIlroy has not won a major title since. However, he is coming into the 151st Open Championship on a bit of a roll, winning the Scottish Open last week for his sixth consecutive top-10 result. That streak also includes a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open last month in Los Angeles.
Because of the long summer days in the United Kingdom, tee times start early in the morning and run through late in the afternoon with all golfers starting on hole No. 1.
