PGA Tour TV times, streaming information: How to watch every 2018 PGA Tour event

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


From January through the end of November 2018, the PGA Tour will have at least one tournament each week. Sometimes, they'll have two.

All of them are available to watch on TV in the United States. However, knowing PGA Tour TV times and the channel to watch each week can be confusing. We're here to help, giving you a full TV schedule for the 2018 PGA Tour year. We'll tell you the channels to watch on which days, as well the TV times for each round.

Generally speaking, Thursday Round 1 and Friday Round 2 live coverage is available on Golf Channel. The exceptions are the Masters (ESPN), the US Open (Fox Sports 1 and Fox in primetime) and the PGA Championship (TNT). The Golf Channel weekday coverage generally starts anywhere from 3-5 p.m. Eastern, though those times are bumped up for The Players and World Golf Championships, typically to 1 p.m. or 2 p.m.

On the weekends, again Golf Channel typically has early Saturday Round 3 and early Sunday Round 4 coverage, no matter which channel takes over the afternoon portion. Golf Channel's early weekend coverage usually runs from 1-2:45 p.m. Eastern. When NBC takes over from Golf Channel, there is no coverage gap. When CBS takes over, the coverage gap is now 15 minutes.

Golf Channel airs all four rounds of 15 PGA Tour events, including the Sentry Tournament of Champions, Sony Open in Hawaii, CareerBuilder Challenge, Puerto Rico Open, Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship, Barbasol Championship, Barracuda Championship, Safeway Open, CJ Cup, CIMB Classic, WGC-HSBC Champions, Shriners Hospitals Open for Children, The RSM Classic, OHL Classic, Sanderson Farms Championship.

However, we know you're not always able to watch the PGA Tour on TV. That's why we're providing PGA Tour streaming information for each tournament as well.

Each PGA Tour broadcaster streams their coverage on the website and/or apps. Golf Channel streams through their website and app, as do NBC, CBS, ESPN and Fox.

For 32 PGA Tour events each year, there's also PGA Tour Live, providing exclusive early-round PGA Tour streaming coverage of featured groups and featured holes. Featured group coverage usually begins with first tee shots each day and goes for about 5 hours. The featured holes coverage usually runs until the end of the daily broadcast window Golf Channel.

PGA Tour Live doesn't cover the majors or opposite field events.
