How To Watch The Open Live Stream 2023
Brian Harman, five shots ahead of the field going into the third round, still has a five-shot lead going into the final day after his two-under-par 69. But Cameron Young is now in second place and Jon Rahm in third, a shot behind Young. Rahm was 89th after the first round, but has shot up the leaderboard, in part due to his 63 on Saturday, a new course record.
To make sure you miss none of the action, below are all the streaming and broadcast details on how to watch The Open live stream from wherever you are, as well as today's tee times.
Dates: July 20-23 |
Venue: Royal Liverpool GC, Hoylake, England |

Rory McIlroy returns to the scene of his Open triumph of 2014 in prime form, having won the Scottish Open last Sunday. However, the 34-year-old has not won a Major since that 2014 season, when he secured his third and fourth Major titles. Has he lost the ability to win Majors or merely mislaid it? His second place in the US Open last month, a shot behind Wyndham Clark, could be used as evidence for either contention.
However The Open course has changed a wee bit since 2014. As then, and indeed in 2006 when Tiger Woods won here, The Open layout starts at the club’s 17th hole and finishes on the 16th. Gone is the par-3 15th, in its place a controversial new par 3, Little Eye, created from scratch and to be played as the Open's 17th hole. The most interesting par 3s are often the shorter ones, and this one comes in at only 134 yards, its raised green surrounded by run off areas and sand in almost every direction. The 18th has been extended to over 600 yards, with the intention of providing two tough, dramatic closing holes, a recipe that worked so well at the finale of the Scottish Open.
Another player arriving in Hoylake on the back of a win in his most recent outing is defending champion Cameron Smith. In his case, it was at LIV Golf London. No-one has won back-to-back Opens since Padraig Harrington 15 years ago, but Smith feels he is playing as well as he ever has done.
If you're looking for a The Open live stream, the article below will tell you how to watch the 151st edition of the Major from Royal LIverpool.
