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.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
