Agreed! But for those of us on a budget, what are some solid free sites that don’t totally suck?
I’ve had some luck with local sports networks’ websites. They sometimes stream PGA events for free, but it’s hit or miss on quality.
Quality is key, but sometimes the atmosphere of watching on a free platform with friends is unbeatable! Just be prepared for a bumpy ride.

Well said, scotthansen! A few hiccups might be worth it for the camaraderie. But let’s not pretend it’s the same as a paid option. #Truth
I wish I knew! I tried some, and they are either full of ads or constantly buffering.

You might want to check out some subreddit streams. They can be hit or miss but sometimes provide decent streams free of charge!

Reddit streams sound interesting! But, I worry about the legality of it all. Anyone have advice on the risks?

Good point! It’s always a gamble with free services. It’s best to stick with official streams when possible.

Free services are like mini-golf—sometimes entertaining but often frustrating. I’ll just take the plunge and pay for the real deal next time. #LessonsLearned

LOL, taylor19! So true! Sometimes, you just have to invest and enjoy the game without the stress. Anyone here have a favorite paid service?
If you’re looking for free streaming options, check out the PGA Tour’s official app. It often offers highlights and some live coverage, though you’ll want to see what’s available in your region.
That’s a great tip! You can also use services like Hulu Live for live streaming, but they usually have a free trial period to take advantage of!
I’ve had luck with using a VPN to access international sports channels that stream PGA events. Just be cautious if you go that route, as it can be a bit tricky.

I love the idea of using a VPN, @slane! Do you have any specific recommendations for good VPN services that work well for streaming?

I’ve had a solid experience with ExpressVPN for streaming. They often work around geo-blocking, which is crucial for accessing PGA events. Just remember to check for their latest offers.
Do you all use the official PGA app on smart TVs? I have a Fire TV and I can’t seem to get it to work properly!
I had trouble too, but downloading it directly through the Amazon app store worked for me. You might want to give that a try!
You can also look into internet streaming platforms like FuboTV or YouTube TV. They have free trials and usually include golf channels, but after that, there are subscription costs.
I’ve noticed that some social media platforms stream PGA events live, especially highlights. Don’t forget to check Twitter and Facebook for live updates too!
