More Programming
In the days before and after The Open Championship, and every week throughout the year, SiriusXM’s weekday golf programming lineup features live shows starting at 7 am ET that offer news, analysis, expert instruction and more.

Listeners can also tune in to two Open Championship specials on SiriusXM:
- Backstory (July 14 at 3 pm ET): This one-hour special gives listeners an in-depth look at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, which will be hosting its 13th Open Championship, from the storied history of the course and its significance in both professional and amateur golf to the course layout today and the new par-3 17th hole. Fans will hear the story of five-time Open Championship winner Peter Thomson and two-time Open Champion Padraig Harrington and his longtime caddy Ronan Flood giving us a first-person perspective on their dramatic playoff victory at Carnoustie in 2007.
- The Open Show (July 19 at 8 pm ET): Listeners will hear conversations with Rory McIlroy, who won the last Open Championship played at Royal Liverpool in 2014, as well as 2003 Open Champion Ben Curtis on the 20th anniversary of his victory at Royal St. George’s. The special will also share the history of the famed Claret Jug, one of golf’s oldest and most coveted trophies, and recap one of the great final-round duels in Open Championship history, when Henrik Stenson outpaced Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon in 2016.
SiriusXM’s broadcast rights for The Open Championship come through its agreement with the R&A and NBCUniversal, which owns the rights to The Open broadcasts in the U.S.
