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.
