How to Stream On Different Platforms
ESPN+
The ESPN network is the best place to stream the PGA Championship. It broadcasts early-game coverage and the tournament’s core. While ESPN or ESPN2 are satellite channels, ESPN+ is a subscription-based streaming platform.
Currently, you can watch the PGA Championship on ESPN+ starting from $29.99/month. You can also get Disney+ and HULU within a similarly priced bundle. Check the ESPN+ Website for the latest prices.
Once on the homepage, click on a bundle. Then provide your email address to register with the platform.
Finish creating your account and finalize payment via your credit card or PayPal. Once done, you should be able to stream the PGA Championship on your phone or PC without issues.
CBS Sports/Paramount+
The CBS Sports app and the website stream CBS coverage of the event. However, they do not broadcast the early rounds or the additional group coverages like ESPN+. Still, it’s a cheaper way to get your PGA Championship fix.
Paramount actually owns CBS. To stream the PGA Championship on the CBS Sports App or the website, you’ll need a Paramount+ Showtime subscription first. Alternatively, you can make do with a TV provider subscription. Log in by connecting either.
However, since Paramount+ itself is a standalone platform/app, the more convenient option is to stream directly on it. Head to the “Live TV” section to find your local CBS feed during the weekend afternoon coverage. CBS and Paramount+ typically begin broadcasting the event at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.
The Paramount+ subscription starts from $7.99/month, cheaper than ESPN+ but also less comprehensive. Visit the Paramount+ website for updated prices and channel lists. After securing the right subscription, you can connect Paramount+ to your CBS Sports account and start streaming or watch directly on Paramount+.
