Must read

The final men’s major of the year is set for a thrilling finish, with round-the-clock coverage from The Open at Royal Troon exclusively live on Sunday on Sky Sports.

Billy Horschel takes a one-shot lead into the final day and is chasing a maiden major title, with major champions, PGA Tour stalwarts and an Open debutant all part of the chasing pack.

Xander Schauffele, Justin Rose and Open debutant Dan Brown are part of a six-way tie for the second, with world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and 2019 champion Shane Lowry also among those chasing major victory.

Three-time Champion Golfer of the Year Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were among the notable names to miss the cut, although plenty of star players made it through and remain hopeful of claiming one of the most famous trophies in golf.

Sky Sports is once again the home of The Open, with all the action on Sky Sports Golf and live coverage from every day of tournament week, plus a host of bonus programming to enjoy. Here is everything you need to know to make sure you don’t miss any of the action from the final men’s major of the year…
