The Scottish Open has become a significant event on the golf schedule ever since it began serving as a partner tournament between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. That has allowed the best players from both tours to come together for a chance to play links golf in preparation for The Open Championship a week later.

All four days of this year’s Open Championship will be available on NBC, with 43 hours of nationally televised coverage expected over the four days from Royal Portrush. That coverage will culminate with the so-called “greatest walk in golf” — the final-round leader’s charge up the 18th fairway at the Open Championship.

Why The Open Championship hits different than other majors. Raw links golf, respectful crowds and 500 years of history make it worth that 4:30 a.m. alarm.

We’ve reached the final men’s major championship of the year – and our final full-field ranking, as Scottie Scheffler leads the list of 156 players for The Open at Royal Portrush.
