The Open 2018 tee times: Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy find out schedule
THE OPEN gets underway at Carnoustie on Thursday with the likes of Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy all in action. Find out below the tee-times and groupings for the first round.
Golf’s oldest major takes place at Carnoustie this week with plenty of drama expected to unfold.
Jordan Spieth is the one everyone will be chasing after the American won the famous claret jug in 2017 after a fascinating final-round battle with Matt Kuchar.
The last time The Open was held at Carnoustie was back in 2007 when Padraig Harrington beat Sergio Garcia in a tense four-hole playoff.
Tiger Woods will be competing in The Open for the first time since 2015 and will be aiming to improve upon his last major performance where he missed out on the cut at the US Open.
Former champion Sandy Lyle will hold the honour of getting The Open underway by hitting the opening tee shot on Thursday.
