Final Qualifying coverage

A day of high drama is guaranteed on Tuesday as 288 players compete to earn their place at The 153rd Open this summer.

Two major champions, a former world number one, several Ryder Cup heroes and a popular YouTuber and broadcaster are among the players who will tee it up across four venues at Final Qualifying on 1 July.

Burnham and Berrow, Dundonald Links, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire will host 36-hole stroke play events, with five qualifying places at Royal Portrush available at each.

Fans will be able to follow all the action from Final Qualifying here on The Open website with live scoring and live blog updates running throughout the day. Final Qualifying Radio will go live on The Open App and R&A TV from 4:30pm so you can tune in to all the big moments as the race to reach Portrush reaches a conclusion.

Father and son Ian and Luke Poulter are among those who will play at Royal Cinque Ports, along with former US Open champion Graeme McDowell and Matthew Southgate, who has come through Final Qualifying five times.
