How to Watch the PGA Tour Live Without Cable

There are a number of streaming services that carry some or all of the PGA Tour throughout the year. 

Some of these services are comparable to a cable TV package with a combination of local channels and popular cable networks such as Golf Channel, TNT and FS1.

To get started, you just need an Internet connection and a TV or screen to watch it on. 

Once you choose a streaming service, and sign up for a free trial, you can download the app to your Smart TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast or Apple TV. 

Most of these services also support watching on iPhones, Android smartphones and PCs. You can also watch some of the PGA Tour without a streaming service by using a TV antenna. NBC and CBS have broadcast television rights to some of the PGA Tour through the year 2030. 

Here’s a quick look at each of these services.

ESPN Plus

ESPN+ is an affordable option for golf coverage, including the PGA Tour. 

As part of a 9-year deal with the PGA Tour, ESPN+ has exclusive coverage in the mornings. The sports streaming service also has coverage in the afternoons along with Golf Channel and CBS.

A subscription to ESPN+ costs $9.99 per month, and you can easily learn how to add ESPN+ to any TV. 

The main feed live streams each golfer as they play the course. Depending on the day of the tournament, the main feed is available from two to five hours each morning, usually starting at 7:30 a.m. ET.

Marquee groups include either the best performing golfers based on standings or the top players in the tournament.

Featured groups follow three to four golfers, showing every shot from their round. Featured-hole coverage shows different camera angles of golfers on specific holes.

If you decide to sign up for ESPN+, a subscription costs $9.99 per month. After you sign up for ESPN+ online, activate your ESPN+ account within the ESPN app under the settings wheel.

ESPN+ is also available through the Disney bundle, or a Hulu Live TV subscription.

You can quickly start watching the PGA Tour on ESPN+ using a Smart TV, Fire TV Stick or Roku. Just follow these steps.

  1. Sign up online for an ESPN+ subscription ($9.99 per month with no contracts)
  2. Download the ESPN app to a Smart TV or streaming device
  3. On the ESPN app home screen, select the Settings wheel in the upper right hand corner of the menu
  4. Go to Account Information and add your ESPN+ credentials (username and password)

Once your information is entered, return to the main menu. Select the ESPN+ tab, which is the second choice at the top of the screen. You will find all current live streams and upcoming sporting events.

Paramount Plus

Paramount+ will has coverage of the PGA Tour when it airs on CBS.

If you sign up for the Paramount+ Premium plan, then you can stream local CBS coverage of the PGA Tour. Viewers can go to the “live” tab to watch the local CBS station.

Other live sports under the Premium plan includes SEC football, NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, The PGA Championship and The Masters. Sunday NFL games that air on CBS stream live with any plan. 

The on-demand library has movies and TV shows from Comedy Central, CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, BET and Smithsonian Channel.

The Paramount+ Premium plan costs $9.99 per month following a free 7-day trial. You can stream local CBS channels through Smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV.

Peacock now carries all 210 NBC affiliates through its Premium Plus plan. This will enable viewers to watch any golf tournaments airing on NBC live.

Premium Plus subscribers pay $9.99 per month. 

Peacock carries a variety of live sports. Aside from the PGA Tour, Peacock streams Sunday Night Football, Notre Dame Football, Premier League, NASCAR, INDYCAR and WWE events.
