Put The Open Golf Championship back on free to air TV
This is the first time in 60 years The Open as not been broadcast on free to air TV. Signing the petition will help influence the government to make The Open Championship a group A protected listed sporting event. Live coverage of the event will then be offered to free to air broadcasters.
The Open Championship dates back to 1860 and is the the world's most prestigious golf tournament and one of four golf majors. With the an international field of the world's best golfers competing for the top prize in golf. The coverage of The Open as been enjoyed by millions on the BBC for the last 60 years, inspiring viewers of all ages to go out and play golf. As a nation we should be proud to host this event and it should be celebrated as one of the great British sporting events.
