The Open radio coverage and TV channel: How to follow Royal Troon drama live
One of the most prestigious events on the golf calendar returns this week, as the world’s best players prepare to descend on Royal Troon for this year’s Open.
It’s the last of the four major championships in 2024, with the victor set to pocket a prize in excess of £2milliion and, of course, get their hands on the famous Claret Jug.
Scottie Scheffler stars the week in Scotland as the bookies’ favourite, with the two-time major winner having been in fine form all year.
Rory McIlroy ranks second in the odds list, as the Northern Irishman looks to end his 10-year drought for a major win on the back of a 14 under-par finish at last weekend’s Scottish Open.
