Tee times are here for the first two rounds of the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.

The field of 156 players will battle it out over four days to hoist the Claret Jug, one of the most famous trophies in sport. Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion, taking the title last year at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Jordan Spieth won the Open the last time it was contested at Royal Birkdale in 2017.

In the first round, Scheffler will play alongside a pair of LIV players in Bryson DeChambeau and Tyrrell Hatton.

Here's a look at Thursday's first-round tee times and TV information for the British Open:
