PGA Tour Live on ESPN Plus

ESPN+ is live streaming 35 PGA Tour tournaments in 2022. Golf fans can watch more than 4.300 hours of live coverage on ESPN+ from January to November.

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.

This year, ESPN+ will have three different live streams during the PGA Tour for viewers to watch.

The main feed focuses on 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, 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.

PGA Tour on Paramount+

Paramount+ will only have coverage of the PGA Tour on Sunday.

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.

How can I watch the PGA Tour live for free?

A TV antenna is the best way to watch the PGA Tour live for free when it airs on CBS.

If you have a TV antenna handy, but haven’t used it in a while, plug it into your television’s coax port and scan for channels. If you are new to TV antennas, here is a list of resources that I have written to get you started.
