The 2013 British Open continues on Friday and once again ESPN will be the home for live television coverage. The network will air 11 more hours of live coverage, with the broadcast beginning before the sun rises on the East coast.
2013 British Open: TV schedule and coverage for Friday’s round
There will be plenty of British Open coverage on Friday, but once again you’ll have to wake up in the middle of the night if you want to see live golf.

Players will begin teeing off a little after 1:30 a.m. ET, but ESPN’s coverage won’t begin until 4 a.m. The live coverage will continue until at least 3 p.m., so viewers will be able to watch the majority of the action live, assuming they are inclined to wake up in the middle of the night. Tiger Woods will dominate ESPN’s early morning coverage as he is scheduled to tee off at 4:44 a.m. Phil Mickelson will be walking to the first tee right about the time Woods finishes his round. Mickelson is scheduled to tee off at 9:45 a.m.
While live coverage doesn’t begin until 4 a.m., viewers can tune in at 2:30 to watch @TheOpen Live show on ESPN3. The preview show will lead right into the live coverage, which will also be available to online at ESPN3. ESPN will be the source of radio coverage as well, with coverage running from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
