British Open schedule 2021: Day-by-day TV coverage to watch on NBC, Golf Channel & stream online

Does Jon Rahm have another win in him?

The Spaniard is coming off an utterly gratifying U.S. Open victory at Torrey Pines, his first major victory cementing his status as one of the world’s elite golfers. This begs the question: What’s next?

Rahm enters the 2021 British Open red-hot through the 2021 PGA Tour events: Including his win at the U.S. Open, he has three more top-10 finishes in majors and 11 top-10 finishes overall.

Rahm takes another bite of the apple this week, as he tees off in The Open Championship, entering the tournament as the favorite. A win in the UK would be Rahm’s second major victory, marking the first back-to-back major winner since Jordan Spieth in 2015. 

The Open Championship returns to Royal St. George’s Golf Club for the first time in a decade. Here’s how to watch:
