For the 148th time, The Open Championship is being challenged with the Claret Jug set that is handed out to the best golfer to follow the course this week. And for the first time since 1951 – yes, 68 years, you read that right – The Open is being held at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Now the last major of the golf season, golfers are about to take a final chance to win a big win over a great left course.
Strap-in for all-day coverage of The Open this week from CBS Sports along with television broadcasts from NBC. What you notice when you sign up is a fun course at Royal Portrush that has to produce a lot of exciting action during the course of the week.
We opened this year with Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods on top of our heads. Rory, who plays a major in his home country at a location where he holds the track record, registered a four-fold bogey on his first hole and went 8 places after one round. Tiger struggled just as badly, but is somehow a shot ahead of 7 through 18 holes. Both say that flirting with the cut line is an understatement; they have to fight for survival on the weekend. For Woods, it would be the first time in his career to be cut from two majors in the same year he won another.
Enough about talking. Here you can see how you can view as many Open golf as possible in the coming days. Make sure you stay with CBS Sports for live coverage throughout the tournament.
