R&A TV

Along with live coverage from Royal Portrush, R&A TV is home to an extensive archive of exclusive Open content so you can whet the appetite as the latest edition of golf's original championship approaches.

Fans can watch official films from every Open since 1970, when Jack Nicklaus claimed a play-off win at St Andrews. Highlights of more recent battles for the Claret Jug are also available for those looking to refresh their memory in a more abbreviated fashion, while the Chronicles of a Champion Golfer series sees past winners go in depth in looking back on their moments of glory.

The likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tom Watson reflect on their remarkable success at The Open, while the man who calls Portrush home, Darren Clarke, talks about his long road to winning the Claret Jug at Royal St. George’s, a success in which this year’s Championship venue played a key role.

There are also several R&A Films exclusives to enjoy.

‘Trevino’ examines the incredible life and unlikely rise of Lee Trevino, the six-time major champion who twice lifted the Claret Jug and became a crowd favourite with his infectious personality.

The story of the epic battle between Nicklaus and Watson in 1977 is retold in ‘DUEL’, with the likes of Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm giving their insights on the ‘Duel in the Sun’, which is still widely thought of the best head-to-head fight in major championship history.

Watson also features in R&A Films’ latest offering ‘Underdogs’. The 138th Open in 2009 is synonymous with Watson, who went within one putt of a record-tying sixth Open title at the age of 59 at the same venue where he outduelled Nicklaus. By contrast, champion Stewart Cink is somewhat forgotten.

Underdogs tells the story of the struggles Cink faced after denying Watson, with his triumph resulting in vilification rather than celebration. It is a stirring tale of legacy, heartbreak and resilience.

In addition to getting you in the mood for The Open, R&A TV can help you improve your own game through the OneClub coaching series, which provides tips to assist you in everything from driving the ball on the range to finding magic on the greens with the putter.
