Where to Stream the 2024 British Open: NBC, USA, and Peacock Viewing Guide
The 152nd edition of the British Open is set to kick off Thursday with 158 golfers vying for the coveted Claret Jug and the title of the season’s final major championship. Royal Troon, located just outside Glasgow in Scotland, will host the prestigious event for the 10th time in its history.
The challenging par-71 course spans 7,385 yards from the championship tees. However, like many courses in the Open rotation, factors like wind, gorse, and bunkers will heavily influence gameplay. Noteworthy holes at Troon include the 632-yard, par-five No. 6, the longest hole in the Open, and the iconic par-3 No. 8, known as the “Postage Stamp,” ranging from 99 to 123 yards.
The tournament is scheduled from July 18-21 at the Old Course of Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland. Established in 1878, the club last hosted the British Open in 2016, a memorable competition won by Sweden’s Henrik Stenson in a thrilling battle against Phil Mickelson.
For golf enthusiasts eager to catch the action, the event will be broadcast live on NBC and USA Network, with streaming available on NBC’s Peacock platform. Golf Channel will also provide comprehensive pre- and post-round coverage.
Additionally, viewers can enjoy exclusive content such as “Live at the Range” and featured group highlights on the R&A’s website. The platform will also showcase “Postage Stamp Live,” offering a detailed look at all the shots played on the renowned par 3 hole.
As the anticipation builds for the 2024 British Open, fans and players alike are gearing up for an exciting and competitive tournament at the historic Royal Troon Golf Club. With a rich history and challenging course layout, this year’s event promises to deliver top-tier golfing action and unforgettable moments on the links.
