Where Can I Watch the Players Championship Live?

I’m really looking forward to the Players Championship this year, but I’m unsure about where to catch all the action live. Golf season is in full swing, and missing out on such a prestigious tournament would be a bummer!

Streaming Options

I’ve heard that there are several streaming options available.

  • PGA Tour Live: Is it worth subscribing to this service to get exclusive coverage?
  • ESPN+: Does anyone know if they’ll be streaming the tournament, and are there any particular features I should be aware of?

TV Broadcasts

I’d appreciate any insights on the traditional TV broadcast as well:

  • What channels will be showing the championship?
  • Are there specific times that I should tune in to catch the most exciting moments?

International Access

For anyone outside the US, what are the best ways to access the tournament? I’ve heard that some platforms are region-locked.

If anyone has tips on how to catch the Players Championship live, I’d love to hear your recommendations! Thanks in advance for your help!

If you’re looking to watch The Players Championship live, I recommend checking out PGA Tour Live. They usually offer a free trial for new subscribers, so you can get a taste before committing.

I personally use Hulu + Live TV. They have NBC and Golf Channel, which covers the tournament. Plus, a free trial is generally available!

I’ve also found that YouTube TV can be a great option. They carry the channels that broadcast The Players Championship, and you can usually try it free for a week.

Does Hulu have any additional charges for accessing premium channels? I’m trying to figure out the best setup.

I use Sling TV, which has a more budget-friendly option. They offer NBC and Golf Channel in their packages, so it’s perfect for golf fans!

That’s great to know! How is the streaming quality? I’m a bit worried about buffering issues.

I’ve had no issues with buffering on Sling TV, it’s been pretty solid for me. Also, they often have promotions, so you might snag a good deal!

You can’t forget about Peacock, either! They stream tons of golf content, including The Players Championship. They have a free tier, which includes a lot of live sports!

I didn’t realize Peacock had sports! Any specific features you like about it?

Peacock’s user interface is pretty straightforward, which I appreciate. Plus, they often air exclusive content, making it a great choice for a golf fan.

Sounds good! Do they have options to record the tournaments?

You can watch The Players Championship on NBC and the Golf Channel. In most regions, NBC will cover the event on Saturday and Sunday from 2 PM to 7 PM ET.

Thanks for the tip! I’m in California; is the timing the same for us?

Yes, dball! The air times should be the same for the West Coast, just remember to adjust for the time zone. NBC and Golf Channel should be carrying it.

In Florida, I’ve been tuning in on Channel 2 for NBC. It’s exciting to see the players at TPC Sawgrass live!

Great to know, peter97! What’s your favorite part of the tournament so far?

I love watching the 17th hole! It’s always full of surprises. Does anyone know if there are any specific events happening that weekend?

You could also catch The Players Championship on streaming platforms like Peacock for live coverage! Might be a good option if you’re out and about.

Good point, shirley68! Streaming is a great alternative. I often watch while I’m in the kitchen preparing snacks!
