Open Championship 2026: How to watch, TV schedule, streaming information for Royal Birkdale

Should the PGA Tour change the Player of the Year voting system?
Golf Channel's roundtable of experts analyzes whether the PGA Tour should change the Player of the Year voting system to a points-based system similar to the LPGA's Hall of Fame selection process.

The claret jug will be up for grabs at Royal Birkdale, July 16-19.

Scottie Scheffler looks to hoist it for the second year in a row but his title defense won’t come easy as a crowded field vies for the year’s fourth major in England.

Will Scheffler become a two-time Open champ or will Rory McIlroy win his second major of 2026 after a repeat at Augusta? Aaron Rai and Wyndham Clark are also fighting for that second major honor after wins at Aronimink and Shinnecock, respectively.

Golf Channel will be on-site with “Live From” coverage beginning early Monday, July 13, featuring highlights, interviews, updates and analysis.

Here is your guide to getting complete coverage of the men’s final major of the year (all times ET; stream links will be added when available). Golf Channel coverage can also be watched on GolfChannel.com and the Golf Channel app.
