Amazon subscription
Amazon Prime Video previously carried the PGA Tour Live add-on, but now you can access that exclusive content with a basic ESPN+ subscription. ESPN+ carries over 35 PGA Tour events each year through its PGA Tour Live programming. Every tournament covered on ESPN+ comes with four unique live feeds, giving you featured holes and groups for a well-rounded viewing experience.
You can also watch select PGA Tour coverage on Paramount+. Anyone subscribed to the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan can stream their local CBS station, which airs some of the most important stops along the PGA Tour.
The Golf Channel app is another option. You can watch LIVE Golf Channel coverage and events, as well as read the latest articles, blogs, and analysis. However, customers have mixed opinions about the app's live streaming capabilities, with some reporting no live streaming at all.
Finally, you can also try a free trial of a streaming service to watch the Golf Channel without cable. Hulu with Live TV, for example, offers Bravo, ESPN, and the Golf Channel, and has an app for Apple TV.

YouTube TV
First, ensure that your YouTube TV subscription includes the relevant channels that broadcast PGA Tour events. Channels such as CBS and ESPN are common carriers of PGA Golf. Check the YouTube TV website or your subscription plan for the full list of available channels.
Before the tournament, confirm that YouTube TV will be streaming the specific PGA event you wish to watch. Streaming availability may vary, so it is always good to check the official PGA Tour website or the YouTube TV live TV guide for the tournament's schedule and streaming options.
On the day of the tournament, open the YouTube TV application on your device. Navigate to the "Live" tab or the "Sports" section to locate the PGA Golf stream. If you know the channel broadcasting the event, you can also use the search function to find it quickly. Select the stream and ensure that it corresponds to the correct tournament and round.
During the tournament, you can take advantage of YouTube TV's features, such as the ability to pause, rewind, or watch from the beginning. If you missed the live start time, these features allow you to catch up and still enjoy the event. Additionally, with your YouTube TV credentials, you may be able to access PGA Tour Live or the streaming service of the broadcasting channel for additional coverage and exclusive content.
By following these steps, you can easily stream and enjoy watching PGA Golf through your YouTube TV subscription. Remember to check for channel availability and streaming rights before each tournament to ensure a seamless viewing experience.

Basic digital antenna
If you're looking to stream PGA Golf without a cable subscription, one option is to use a basic digital antenna, also known as an OTA (over-the-air) antenna. This is a one-time purchase that typically costs between $20 and $60.
With a digital antenna, you can stream NBC, CBS, and CW's coverage of golf tournaments, including many of the major PGA tournaments such as the U.S. Open, the Masters Tournament, and the Honda Classic. To set up your antenna, simply connect it to your TV and place the receiver near a window. This setup will allow your TV to pick up local broadcast channels for free, giving you access to not just live golf coverage but also local news and popular sitcoms.
It's worth noting that while a digital antenna provides a free and legal way to stream PGA Golf, it may not cover all the tournaments you want to watch. For example, some LPGA content is available on CBS, but for most LPGA major tournaments, you'll need to use streaming services like the NBC Sports App, the Golf Channel, or the Peacock streaming app.
If you're looking for a more comprehensive solution, you could consider signing up for streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or DIRECTV STREAM, which offer a wider range of golf content, including exclusive coverage and additional channels. However, these services come with a monthly subscription fee.
