Senior Open Championship live on Sky Sports Golf: Josh Antmann leads coverage from Gleneagles
Match date:
Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports+ Channel will carry live coverage of the Senior Open Championship on Saturday 26 July 2026 at 13:30 UK time, with Josh Antmann presenting a line-up packed with familiar major-championship voices. The event, officially the ISPS Handa Senior Open, is being staged at The King’s Course, Gleneagles in Auchterarder, Perthshire, and is part of the senior major calendar for players aged 50 and over.[1][4]
The broadcast team brings together one of the strongest specialist golf line-ups on British television. Ewen Murray will lead commentary, a role that suits one of the most recognisable voices in golf coverage. Murray has been a long-standing figure on Sky’s golf output, known for his measured delivery and deep knowledge of the professional game. He will be joined by Rich Beem, the American who won the 2002 PGA Championship and has since become a respected broadcaster and analyst, plus experienced former tour professionals Tony Johnstone, Sam Torrance and David Howell.[4]
Alongside them, Trish Johnson will provide punditry. Johnson is one of the most decorated players in European women’s golf, with a career that included success on both sides of the Atlantic, and her tactical insight is particularly valuable on a course such as Gleneagles. Reporting duties fall to Tim Barter, while Jamie Spence and Jay Townsend will be on-course, bringing live reaction from around the field as the championship unfolds.[4]
The championship itself has a strong heritage. The 2026 edition is the 39th Senior Open Championship and the 23rd to be recognised as a senior major championship, underlining its importance within the senior game.[1] It is being played from 23 to 26 July, with the field set at 144 players at Gleneagles, one of Scotland’s best-known inland championship venues.[4] Pádraig Harrington is the defending champion, adding further star quality to the tournament narrative.[1]
For viewers in the UK and across Europe, Sky’s coverage remains the primary way to follow the action live, with the Sky Sports Golf feed and the Sky Sports+ option offering comprehensive tournament coverage. The Senior Open is Europe’s leading senior major, and its place at Gleneagles gives British viewers a particularly appealing home-season showcase with a strong mix of major winners, Ryder Cup names and senior tour specialists.[4]
