The Players Championship 2018 is one of the most anticipated in recent years, and you can watch online the whole tournament from TPC Sawgrass and The Players Stadium Course. Between online streams from PGA Tour Live, PGA Tour website and apps, as well streaming coverage from Golf Channel and NBC in their apps and websites, you have no excuse to miss a minute of The Players action.

You can watch the 2018 Players Championship online even before the official tournament begins with online streaming of a preview show at 12 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.

During tournament days, there are two online streams of coverage through PGA Tour Live, including the Featured Groups and Featured Holes (Nos. 12 and 17) channels, featuring unique, separate coverage throughout the day. Golf Channel also has two unique online streams as well, with a simulcast of TV coverage with data from PGA Tour ShotLink and a Launchpad channel with analysis of drives and the 14th hole at TPC Sawgrass.

Golf Channel (Thursday and Friday) and NBC (Saturday and Sunday) broadcast coverage of the tournament is also available through GolfChannel.com and the Golf Channel app for various mobile platforms. You can also stream coverage through the NBC Sports app.
