You can watch the US Open online these days, getting almost the entirety of tournament coverage through USOpen.com and the US Open apps. However, those are smaller screens. If you want to stream the US Open but watch the stream on your TV, then you have several options, including Google Home or Google Chromecast.
Here's how you can cast the US Open online streaming channels from the US Open app to your TV using Chromecast.
If you have Google's beautifully simple $35 dongle already set up on a bigger screen, then watching the US Open app or USOpen.com on your TV is a breeze.
