The Open 2024: first round updates – live

It is the 152nd Open Championship and the tenth to be held at the famous Ayrshire links of Royal Troon. The ninth inning saw Henrik Stenson hold off Phil Mickelson in what is widely regarded as, with the honourable exception of the legendary 1977 duel in the sun between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry, the greatest mano-a-mano affair in the long and illustrious history of the Open. No pressure, everyone!

Here are today’s start times (UK & Ireland unless otherwise stated, all times local, a indicates amateur). Brian Harman will begin his title defense just before 10am, by which time newly crowned Scottish Open champion Bob MacIntyre will already be out on the course, high on life, as will Ludvig Åberg, Jon Rahm and the recently beloved Bryson DeChambeau. Rory McIlroy will be quick to join in, but we’ll have to wait until midday for world number one Scottie Scheffler and Tiger. Either way, pick your favorite from this bunch, pour yourself a strong cup of tea, sit back for the next four days of golfing bliss and TO ENJOY. It is on!
