By

The last decade has seen many traditional cable TV subscribers ditch their subscriptions for online alternatives, with many of the best live streaming TV services providing similar options to cable with more convenience, depending on how you like to watch. With so many online options nowadays, PGA Tour fans may be wondering how to watch the PGA Tour. There are a lot of events throughout the PGA Tour season, with several different TV networks providing coverage depending on the event. This creates a lot of different ways to watch online. But if you’ve walked away from your cable service, if you prefer the experience of watching on a mobile device, or if you want to watch events from outside the United States, we’ve tracked down the best ways to watch any PGA Tour live stream.

Watch the PGA Tour on FuboTV

FuboTV is one of the top streaming TV services for sports fans, as it gets you access to a huge range of sports networks that include ESPN, FS1, FS2, MLB Network, and dozens of college sports channels. But golf fans in particular will like FuboTV’s offerings, which include networks like NBC Golf and USA Network. It won’t be hard to track down a PGA Tour live stream amongst the many sports networks FuboTV offers, and new subscribers can even take advantage of a FuboTV free trial, which will get you a week of free access to the service. FuboTV subscriptions start at $75 per month.

Watch the PGA Tour on Sling TV

You can watch the PGA Tour on Sling TV through a variety of channels you can find on the all-in-one service. This includes networks like ESPN and USA Network, two of the TV networks on which you can often find a PGA Tour live stream. Golf lovers should enjoy much of what Sling TV has to offer, as its base subscription plans will get you a lot of golf through the many sports networks included, and The Golf Channel is even available as an add-on to your subscription. Base Sling TV plans start at $40 per month, and first-time subscribers often qualify for a 50% discount for one month.

While it doesn’t always present full coverage of PGA Tour events, ESPN Plus is a great add-on for PGA Tour coverage. Its offerings are a little more tailored to people who like to watch the PGA Tour in specific ways, such as featured holes at certain events, or featured groups. ESPN Plus doesn’t cover every PGA Tour event, but it has a ton of additional sports coverage that make the $10 per month subscription worthwhile. This includes NCAA basketball games, XFL football games, and UFC fights. Access to ESPN’s sports documentary series 30 for 30 is included with a subscription, as is access to hours upon hours of additional ESPN original programming. There isn’t an ESPN Plus free trial to take advantage of, but ESPN Plus is included at a discount as part of the Disney Bundle, which gets you access to Disney+ and Hulu in addition to ESPN+, and starts at $13 per month.

Watch the PGA Tour on Peacock TV

The Peacock TV app.

Another great streaming service to catch a PGA Tour live stream is Peacock TV. NBC covers a lot of PGA Tour events throughout the season, and Peacock TV is its online streaming platform. NBC uses the service regularly to provide online coverage of its sports events, making PGA Tour coverage a near-guarantee if NBC is covering the TV broadcast. Golf lovers might especially enjoy a Peacock TV subscription, which starts at just $5 per month, as in addition to coverage of PGA Tour events, the service offers access to golf documentaries, series like School of Golf, and always-on channels such as GolfPass.

Watch the PGA Tour on Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus doesn’t offer a lot of access to PGA Tour events, as it’s a CBS-owned streaming platform, and CBS doesn’t cover many PGA Tour events throughout the season. It does have coverage of perhaps the biggest golf event of the year, The Masters, and you can often access the live stream through Paramount Plus, as a subscription brings with it access to your local CBS station. And while Paramount Plus may be most known for its movies and original series such as Yellowstone, it’s a good streaming service for sports lovers, as for just $5 per month it will get you access to NFL coverage, hockey games, soccer matches, and much more.

Watch the PGA Tour on Hulu with Live TV

The Hulu app on a Roku smart TV.

Hulu is one of the original streaming TV services, and it’s still one of the most popular, as it offers a huge library of on-demand content. One of its premium offerings is Hulu with Live TV, which brings live TV to your home with a subscription. This includes access to several channels that will allow you to watch the PGA Tour online. USA Network, Golf Channel, CBS, ESPN, and NBC are all part of the package. Hulu with Live TV doesn’t have a free trial in and of itself, but a Hulu free trial does exist. You can use a Hulu free trial to see if you like the platform, and to get a feel for what kinds of content is available on the platform. If you like it, you can dive into a Hulu with Live TV subscription for $70 per month.

Watch the PGA Tour on YouTube with Live TV

YouTube TV rounds out the online options for catching a PGA Tour live stream, and it’s one of the best places to do so. YouTube TV offers more than 100 channels as part of its service, and among them are networks like ESPN, NBC, CBS, and USA Network. These are most of the networks you need for watching PGA Tour events throughout the season, and sports lovers in general will love the inclusion of channels like Fox Sports and NBC Sports. YouTube TV starts at just $65 per month.

Watch the PGA Tour from abroad with a VPN

As if the huge range of streaming options doesn’t already complicate tracking down a PGA Tour live stream, travelers will often hit another complication. Geographic restrictions are almost always in place for PGA Tour events, but one way to work around them is with a virtual private network, or a VPN. Combing a VPN with a streaming service like FuboTV will make watching the PGA Tour outside of the United States a much simpler process, as it will allow you to watch from anywhere in the world just as you would if you were at home. NordVPN is at the top of the list of the best VPN services, and subscribing to the service is very affordable. NordVPN often has discounts taking place, and you can even use the service entirely free for one month with a NordVPN free trial.

High-speed internet has made it easy and economical for millions of people to "cut the cord" and ditch traditional cable or satellite TV in favor of online streaming services. But due to regional broadcasting restrictions, sports fans had to wait a while longer to enjoy live and on-demand content. Movies and TV shows have been available on services like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video for about a decade now, and today's 4K smart TVs even come with built-in internet connectivity and pre-loaded streaming apps -- but only recently have broadcasters like ESPN done the same thing for live-action sports, including UFC live streams like the upcoming UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili and UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3.

The world’s biggest mixed martial arts fighting league has joined with ESPN to bring you all of your favorite UFC content in 2023, both online and on TV. Fox previously held exclusive broadcasting rights to UFC through 2018, but starting in 2019, the contract went to ESPN. ESPN rolled out its own premium streaming service called ESPN+ in the spring of 2018. This is great news for MMA fans, as the UFC's tight relationship with ESPN now makes it easy to stream UFC fights online. Although some fight cards are broadcast on ESPN's TV channel and UFC Fight Pass, ESPN+ is the only venue for watching UFC PPVs online, including the UFC 286 live stream. This means that for the foreseeable future, all Ultimate Fighting Championship content is airing only on this network, and if you're looking for the best way to watch every UFC live stream online, ESPN+ is what you need.

Watch the free F1 live stream

The 274th F1 World Championship is being aired for free in Austria and and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but not so great for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free-to-watch at home.
