The Open Livestream: How to Watch the Golf Tournament Online at Reddit
The 151st Open Championship has arrived with four days of pristine golf ahead at Royal Liverpool. Hosting the Claret Jug for the first time since 2014, Hoylake, England, has been filled to the brim with the best golfers in the game all week with some notable names seeking to find success on that has been a long time coming. Fresh off a victory at the Scottish Open, the last man to win an Open at Royal Liverpool is seeking to capture consecutive tournaments with Rory McIlroy entering as the clear favorite at 21/4, according to Caesars Sportsbook. McIlroy has spent the last nine years seeking his fifth major, and his last victory at Hoylake was part of an incredible run that saw him win consecutive major trophies.

Ironically, the man who finished second to McIlroy in 2014, Rickie Fowler, happens to be seeing a career resurgence. Fowler led for most of the U.S. Open last month only to see his effort fall short in the end, but he followed that up by winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic a few weeks ago for his first victory since 2019.
While Scottie Scheffler has seen more recent success as the No. 1 golfer in the world, he’s yet to convert his statistical success this year into a second career major victory. He finished T10 at the Masters, T2 at the PGA Championship and 3rd at the U.S. Open but still needs a major trophy to add some hardware to what has already been a lucrative campaign.

The Open Golf 2023: preview
The 151st Open Championship takes place at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Merseyside from 20th – 23rd July. That’s Thursday to Sunday. And it promises to be quite an event.
Rory McIlroy will be one to watch, after a string of near misses in big tournaments this year. He’s placed in the top eight in six of his last seven majors, but every time the top spot has eluded him. He hasn’t won a major in nine years, but expect the crowd to be on his side. He is returning to the scene of his only Open victory in 2014, after all, so what a fairytale a win would be. Despite leading the field going into the final round last year, he lost out thanks to Cameron Smith’s superb score of 20 under par. But competitions don’t come much tighter – only two strokes separated the top three players last year. McIlroy lost last month’s US Open by just one stroke too, so he’ll be hoping this time fortune is on his side.
He’ll certainly have a challenge on his hands. The best golfers from both the PGA and LIV tours will be competing for the Claret Jug, including Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, defending champion Cameron Smith and Shane Lowry.
Hoylake hosts the fourth and final major tourney of the year. Make sure you know how to watch The Open Golf 2023 live stream from wherever you are with our guide below.
