British Open week has arrived and NBC Sports Group plans to offer 410 hours of TV and online programming surrounding the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

That includes 49 hours of live TV coverage of the Open, which returns to Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. The live TV coverage will include tee-to-green coverage from the opening day tee shot on Thursday until the final putt on Sunday.

Tiger Woods played Royal Portrush in a practice round Sunday. He didn’t touch a club for more than two weeks after his T-21 finish at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open and has not played in competition since the Open ended four weeks ago. He’s played only 10 rounds of pro golf since his historic victory at the Masters in April. Woods sits one victory shy from Sam Snead’s record of 82 PGA Tour wins.

Golf Central’s “Live From The Open” features nearly 70 hours of news coverage from Royal Portrush, beginning Monday, July 15 at 9 a.m. ET. Golf Channel will also offer “Midnight Drive,” a special 90-minute live pre-game show (Midnight-1:30 a.m. ET Thursday) that leads directly to the opening tee shot of the Open.

Here is the full schedule of NBC’s British Open TV coverage.
