THE Open is back for another year, seeing some of the biggest names in golf go head-to-head to be crowned champion.
The competition is being held at Royal Troon in Ayrshire after being hosted in Liverpool last year.
Beginning in 1860, the annual event was originally held at Prestwick Golf Course before it started rotating between coastal links across the UK.
If you're unable to attend but still want to catch all the action, here is how to watch the tournament from the comfort of your own home.
How to watch The Open as it returns to Royal Troon
The Open at Royal Troon will be available to watch on Sky Sports Golf with live coverage taking place throughout the tournament.
Wall-to-wall coverage will begin at 6am on Thursday and Friday ahead of the opening tee shot at 6.35am.
