British Open 2019: Thursday Tee Times, TV Schedule and Live Stream

The 2019 Open Championship kicked off early Thursday morning at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. Francesco Molinari will try to defend his title against an impressive field that features past winners Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson.

Other notable participants include 2019 Masters winner Tiger Woods, 2019 U.S. Open winner Gary Woodland and 2019 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka.

This really could be anybody's tournament, though. Royal Portrush, which hasn't hosted the British Open since 1951, is a course that rewards touch and accuracy more than power, will make for an intriguing challenge and an exciting weekend of golf.
