How to watch Genesis Scottish Open on Thursday

Rory McIlroy is hoping this week at the Genesis Scottish Open sees him capture yet another victory, while also helping him prep for next week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

McIlroy has only one win on the season so far, but it was a big one. He won his second straight Masters title at Augusta National in April, pushing his career total to six. Before he tries to add a seventh major win and second Open title next week, the World No. 2 is hoping to add a second Scottish Open trophy to his trophy case.

While he’s only played nine PGA Tour events in 2026, he has two other top-10 finishes to go along with his Masters victory.

But with the tournament being played in Scotland, you’ll need to wake up really early to watch McIlroy in action on Thursday.

McIlroy tees off for the opening round early Thursday morning at 3:28 a.m. ET alongside Robert MacIntyre and Chris Gotterup.

PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide exclusive early streaming coverage starting at 3:15 a.m. ET, as well as featured group and featured hole coverage.
