Stream Live Coverage of the US Golf Open | June 2015

The U.S. Open is quickly approaching, and golf fans across the country — and perhaps across the globe — are eager to see what will happen. This annual event will test the sport’s best players and experts. Expect the tournament to be particularly interesting this year because it will take place in a new location. What are some things to watch out for during the tournament? More importantly, how can you stream coverage of it so you don’t miss a swing?

This year, the U.S. Open will take place at the Chambers Bay golf course in University Place, Washington. This is the first time the tournament has come to the Pacific Northwest, making this year’s event something of a historical one. In fact, one of the holes on the course is effectively “two holes in one,” as one sports writer puts it, because the two sets of tees for it are so drastically different.

How will the challenging course play into the tournament’s outcome? Will Phil Mickelson win the tournament and complete a career grand slam? Will Tiger make an unexpected splash? How will Rory McIlroy fare? These key questions, and others, will receive their answers between June 15–21, 2015.

Where to Watch the Championship Online

If you’re going to be away from your TV, or you just want to be able to watch the tournament wherever you are, your options are limited. Fox Sports won the spot as the tournament’s major media partner, so you may need to subscribe to their channel through your cable provider. On your mobile device, you might try streaming through the Marquee Group, Holes 12 & 15, or U.S. Open 360°, although the times when those services will stream the tournament are yet to be determined. You can find a viewing schedule for the tournament here.

The tournament’s official website, usopen.com, will stream some parts of the tournament for free. After the action happens, you’ll be able to catch clips on websites of major names in sports including Fox, ESPN, and CBS.
