How to Watch the 2024 Open Golf Championship
The 152nd Open Championship, also known as the British Open, is the oldest major golf tournament in the world, and the best athletes in the sport are assembling in Scotland this week to take part at Royal Troon Golf Club. American Brian Harman is the defending champion of the Open, and this year, Masters winner Scottie Scheffler, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy are among the other 156 players competing to win the coveted Claret Jug (and a prize pot of over $3 million).
Whether you want to catch all the early morning action on Peacock and USA, which are covering the tournament’s earliest tee times, or catch up with NBC’s primary coverage over the weekend, there are plenty of ways to watch the Open Tournament on TV and streaming.

How to Stream the Open Championship without Cable:
While most of the tournament’s biggest moments will be broadcast on NBC and USA, the first two rounds of the tournament will air on Peacock starting just before the first tee time of the tournament, which is at 1:35 a.m. ET on Thursday, July 18. (That’s 6:35 a.m. on Thursday local time in Scotland.) The last three golfers of the tournament will tee off at 11:27 a.m. ET.
Peacock will stream all four days of the tournament, and they will also showcase a featured hole feed highlighting the iconic par-3 ‘Postage Stamp’ 8th hole during the week.
If you’ve cut the cord but don’t have a Peacock subscription, NBC and USA are both also available with subscriptions to Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, and DirecTV.
What is the Postage Stamp?:
This year marks the tenth time that the Open will be played at the Royal Troon Golf Club. Historic and scenic, there’s one feature of Royal Troon that sets it apart from other courses, and that’s the eighth hole on the course which has earned the nickname “the Postage Stamp.” The par three, 123-yard hole is called “the shortest hole in Open Championship golf,” according to Royal Troon, but despite its short length, it’s considered one of the more treacherous holes in the sport thanks to its tiny putting green flanked by bunkers. The hole earned its nickname after Scottish golfer William Park referred to it as having “a pitching surface skimmed down to the size of a postage stamp.”
