The 119th US Open golf tournament is underway at the iconic Pebble Beach course along the California coast. After the first two rounds Thursday and Friday, plenty of big names are still in it. And yes, that includes Tiger Woods, who won earlier this year at The Masters in incredible fashion, but a mediocre performance in the first two rounds of the US Open will likely keep him from winning this one. Meanwhile Brooks Koepka, who won the last two US Opens as part of his run of winning three of the past five majors, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and Gary Woodland, the leader after the first two rounds, are all in contention.
Here is the cord cutter's guide to watching the final two rounds of the US Open, the toughest test in golf.
2018 US Open remaining schedule

The US Open will be broadcast on Fox, which you can access with a cable or satellite subscription, or for free with an over-the-air digital antenna. We have a few, cheap suggestions for the best indoor antennas.
Here's the broadcast schedule:
- Saturday: 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on Fox

Online or streaming
Fox Sports Go and the Fox Sports Go app will have the livestream of each round, but you need to log in with a pay TV account. You can get an ad-supported livestream without authentication at USOpen.com and via the US Open app.
If you don't have a pay TV subscription, you can livestream the tournament with a live-TV streaming service if you live in the right area. In some markets, you can watch on-demand but not live content from Fox and the other local networks.
Other stuff to know about live TV streaming services:
- You'll need a solid internet connection.
- You can watch any of them on TV as long as your smart TV has the service's app. You can also watch on your TV using a media streamer, such as a Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or Chromecast ($55 at eBay).
- You can also watch on iPhones, Android phones, tablets and PC browsers.
- You can sign up and cancel anytime, no contract required.
- All of them offer free trial periods, so you can sign up to watch and then cancel.
