How To Watch The Open Final Round: Live Streams, TV Details, Timings As Scottie Scheffler Aims To Emulate Tiger Woods

Today, July 20, The Champion Golfer of the Year will be decided, and Golf Monthly is here to bring you all the information on how to watch Sunday's play at Royal Portrush, wherever you are in the world.

Scottie Scheffler, in carding a third round four-under par 67, has extended his lead to four shots going into the final day. Could the three-time Major winner become the first World No.1 to be crowned Champion Golf of the Year since Tiger Woods in 2006?

He goes out last on Sunday, at 2.30pm BST, alongside second-placed Haotong Li. Twenty-nine-year-old Li came third in his Open debut, in 2017, but in his last three Open appearances he has missed the cut.

Home favourite Rory McIlroy, who posted a five-under 66 on Saturday to move into a four-way tie for fourth, is six shots off the lead. He is in the penultimate group, playing with Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick, who is in third place overnight.

Read on for Golf Monthly's guide on how to watch The Open today, with details on live streams, TV broadcasts, and timings globally.
