That’s super helpful, thanks! I’ll definitely be looking into that. How about the coverage? Is it the same?

The coverage should be similar, but they often offer additional features or commentary on the app. Don’t miss out on those!

They often have dedicated channels during events, which is pretty cool. It gives you a chance to catch interviews and highlights.

For sure! But honestly, if I miss a few shots here and there while on commercial, I won’t be too mad… unless it’s a hole-in-one!

Haha, right? That would be a nightmare! Anyone else think there’s a lot of hype around this event?

The Ryder Cup is one of the most exciting golf events! You can watch it live on multiple streaming services. ESPN+ and Peacock are both great options. ESPN+ starts at $9.99/month and has a free trial. Just make sure to check their availability in your region!

I agree, William! For those in Europe, Discovery+ also offers the Ryder Cup coverage. Their subscription is about €6.99/month. It’s great to have multiple options!

Don’t forget about NBC Sports as well! They will air matches but might be limited in certain regions. Make sure to check your local listings or use a VPN if you can’t access it.

I’ve found that using a VPN is actually pretty helpful if you want to access services that aren’t available in your location. Just connect to a server in a supported country, and you can enjoy the Ryder Cup!
