ESPN+ to carry PGA Tour Live on Thursdays, Fridays only at fall 2023 U.S. events
The FedEx Cup Fall is a unique one-off of seven tournaments, as the PGA Tour transitions from the wrap-around schedule to a return to a calendar-based format, with the 2024 campaign starting in January.
Of the seven events, four of them will be staged in the U.S.
That means for you live streamers and cord-cutters out there, your viewing options are being altered just a tad, as the streaming coverage of PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will only be on Thursdays and Fridays.
ESPN+ is the exclusive home of PGA Tour Live, and Front Office Sports reports that it’s the most watched content on the streaming platform. But while ESPN+ generally has its four-channel experiences for all four days of PGA Tour stops, it’ll only have the first and second rounds of those U.S.-based tournaments.
Dates | Tournament | Course | Coverage start time |
Sept. 14-15 | Fortinet Championship | Silverado Resort | 10 a.m. ET |
Oct. 5-6 | Sanderson Farms Championship | The Country Club of Jackson | 8:30 a.m. ET |
Oct. 12-13 | Shriners Children’s Open | TPC Summerlin | 9:30 a.m. ET |
Nov. 16-17 | RSM Classic | Sea Island Golf Club (Seaside Course) | 9:30 a.m. ET |
The Zozo Championship in Japan, the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will not have PGA Tour Live on ESPN+.
All seven of the fall events will have four rounds of live coverage of Golf Channel, which will be simulcast on NBC’s streaming service Peacock.
