How to watch the Open Championship originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Golf’s final major championship of the 2021 season is just around the corner.
The 2021 Open Championship — informally known to many as the British Open — begins on Thursday, July 16 at Royal St. George’s in Sandwich, England.
This year’s tournament will be the 149th edition of the British Open, golf’s oldest major tournament, and the 11th time it’s played at Royal St. George’s.
The 2020 Open Championship was golf’s lone major to be canceled due to COVID-19 in 2020, the first time the British Open wasn’t played since World War II.
This year’s competition is loaded with talent, however, as each golfer will try and claim the final major title of the season. Jon Rahm, the winner of the U.S. Open in June, is the betting favorite to win the event, followed by Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 149th Open Championship.
