Open Golf Championship 2015

The BBC has applied to Ofcom for consent to broadcast exclusive live coverage of the Open Golf Championship 2015 ("The Championship"), on BBC One and BBC Two and their interactive streams. The Championship is due to take place between 12 and 19 July 2015.

The BBC also intends to provide live commentary of the event on BBC Radio Five Live.

This is a Group B Listed Event. The broadcasting rules which apply to such events are set out in the Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events.

Ofcom invited views on the application but received no responses within the timeframe stipulated in the request for comments from interested parties.

Ofcom has therefore given its consent for the BBC coverage of the Championship to go ahead.
