How to Watch PGA Tour Golf
Golf broadcasting is unique because it spans four days (Thursday-Sunday). Coverage typically moves from cable to network TV as the weekend approaches.
- Early Rounds (Thurs/Fri): Usually air on the Golf Channel.
- Weekend Rounds (Sat/Sun): The leaders air on CBS or NBC, while early play remains on the Golf Channel.
PGA Tour Live (ESPN+)
The game-changer for golf fans is PGA Tour Live on ESPN+. This service streams "Featured Groups" and "Featured Holes" all day long, often starting hours before the TV broadcast begins. It is the only way to see every shot from your favorite player in the morning wave.
The Major Championships
The four Majors have their own deals:
- The Masters: ESPN (Early) and CBS (Weekend).
- PGA Championship: ESPN and CBS.
- US Open: NBC and USA Network.
- The Open Championship: NBC and USA Network (early morning viewing in the US).
