Open Championship: TV channel, streaming, tee times, pairings for final round Sunday
Scottie Scheffler enters the fourth and final round of the 2025 Open Championship on top of the leaderboard. Scheffler shot a 4-under par 67 in the third round at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. He's lived up to the billing as the World No. 1 and tournament favorite. He took the lead on Friday during the second round and has pushed his score to 14-under, putting him four strokes ahead of Haotong Li, who is second on the leaderboard at 10-under. Matt Fitzpatrick is in third place at 9-under. He had finished the second round in second place before slipping into third on Saturday. Rory McIlroy, a native of Northern Ireland, is among a group of four golfers (Chris Gotterup, Harris English and Tyrell Hatton the others) tied for fourth place at 8-under.

He finally found a hot putter on the final day, shot a 67 and finished seventh. Not only am I looking for the top players and good current form, but I also want golfers who are well-versed in links-style golf. Rahm fits the bill as he has finished top-7 at the Open Championship in three of the past four years and has won the Irish Open three times." Alex Myers writes: "If you had said before the season that McIlroy would be coming back to his home country with three wins and a major under his belt in 2025, you'd have made him a clear favorite." Nick Hennion writes: "For Straka, his distance won't be punished at the Open like it would at the Masters and PGA. That should allow his two best attributes – iron play and putting – to shine. Amongst all PGA Tour players this season, Straka ranks second in SG: APP, first in greens in regulation percentage and 16th in SG: Putting. Based on those factors, the price alone is worth it for Straka to claim his first major title."

The Open Championship: TV channel, stream, Thursday tee times, pairings, where to watch
The 153rd Open Championship will begin at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland on Thursday. Irish golfer Shane Lowry is among the favorites as the tournament returns to the course for the first time since his win in 2019. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who make up the top two golfers in the world, respectively, will also be among the field. Scheffler earned his first PGA Championship in May, five strokes ahead of fellow Americans Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley. McIlroy, a Northern Irishman, is coming off a successful start to the year, winning the Masters, the Players Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. A 16-year-old McIlroy shot a 61, setting a course record, at the golf club back in 2005 during the North of Ireland Championship. He also had his struggles at the venue, missing the cut in 2019 when the Open tournament was last held there.
