How To Watch The Open On BBC
The Open 2017 is upon us and Sky Sports have the main broadcast rights here in the UK.
Sky are now showing their second Open after Troon last year, with the BBC ending their contract a year early having shown their final Open in 2015 at St Andrews.
Sky or BBC: Who covered the Open better?
However, the BBC do still have coverage of the world's oldest golf tournament.
They will be showing a two-hour highlights show each night and will also have live coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Elliott Heath is our News Editor and has been with Golf Monthly since early 2016 after graduating with a degree in Sports Journalism. He manages the Golf Monthly news team as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as five Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews. His first Open was in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, when he walked inside the ropes with Jordan Spieth during the Texan's memorable Claret Jug triumph. He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Western Gailes, Old Head and Turnberry. He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays off of a six handicap. His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now!
