Step‑by‑Step: How to Start Watching

  1. Pick your main platform
    • Want wall‑to‑wall coverage, early tee times, featured holes (like 16)? Choose ESPN+ / PGA Tour Live inside the ESPN app.
 * Prefer to flip on TV and watch a more “curated” broadcast? Use **Golf Channel on weekdays** , **Golf Channel + CBS on weekend**.
  1. Set up your access
    • Subscribe to ESPN+ (if you don’t already), then log into the ESPN app on your smart TV, phone, tablet, or streaming stick.
 * Make sure your cable/streaming package includes Golf Channel and CBS; if not, consider a trial of YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Fubo.
  1. On tournament days
    • Open ESPN+ in the ESPN app and select PGA Tour Live / Waste Management Phoenix Open for early coverage and featured groups.
 * When TV windows start, you can either stay in ESPN+ main feed or switch to Golf Channel or CBS to follow the traditional broadcast.
  1. If you’re outside the US
    • Rights vary by country; local sports networks or regional versions of ESPN often simulcast parts of the event.
 * A legitimate local provider (or their app) is usually the most reliable way to watch.

Mini Forum‑Style Angle

“Where do I watch this thing online?”

Old forum threads show people often scrambling for links or using low‑quality unofficial streams. Today, official streams via ESPN+ and legitimate live TV apps are generally more stable, legal, and higher quality than those older, ad‑heavy sites.

Short TL;DR

  • Use ESPN+ (PGA Tour Live) in the ESPN app for full coverage and featured groups.
  • Watch Golf Channel (Thu–Sun early slots) and CBS (Sat–Sun afternoons) on cable or a live TV streaming service.
  • Peacock can stream the Golf Channel portion if you prefer app‑only viewing.
