How To Watch the PGA Championship From Anywhere

If you follow the PGA Tour and are ready to watch the PGA Championship games this May, you may be wondering how to view the tournament. We have the full schedule for you, including which streaming channels you’ll need. 

We even have tips if you’ve been geographically blacked out from watching contestants compete for the Wanamaker trophy.

How to watch the PGA Championship in the U.S.

The preliminary programming leading up to the PGA tournament will be broadcast and streamed over Peacock, but the actual tournament will appear on ESPN+. You’ll need to have both to watch the entire tournament.

Platform	Starting Price	Channels
Peacock	$7.99/mo	Streaming
ESPN+	$11.99/mo	Streaming

How to watch on Peacock and ESPN+

Peacock allows you to sign up for a 7-day free trial before you have to purchase the service. While ESPN+ itself doesn’t offer a free trial, it can be bundled into services with Hulu and Disney+, which do have free trial offers.

In our opinion, the Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+ bundle is the best value for the money in the long run because of the amount of content you get for the monthly fee. 

But we do have extra tips on how to stream ESPN+ if you aren’t interested in the bundle.

How to watch the PGA Championship in the U.K.

How to watch the PGA Championship from anywhere

A virtual private network (VPN) can help you watch the PGA Championship from anywhere. Whether you need a U.S. IP address or want to watch in another country like the U.K. or Canada, a quality VPN will change your location so you can view the tournament. Services like NordVPN, CyberGhost, and Surfshark all offer the strength you need to access streaming.

Free and low-quality VPNs often don’t have the obfuscation necessary to beat the blockers that streaming services use to stop them. Whether you want to watch the PGA Championship or stream the British Open, you’ll need to have geographic access. 

You can even beat state-to-state restrictions in the U.S. for sports betting or other local restrictions.

What’s special about the PGA Championship?

The PGA Championship is one of four major championships a golfer can compete in, but the only one designed by professional golfers for professional golfers and run by the PGA of America. It’s considered the second major championship in the sport. Competitors are usually the strongest ranked in the world according to the Official World Golf Rankings.[1]

Winners can take home a prize of nearly $2 million along with a 5-year PGA membership to participate in the PGA Tour and a 7-year membership for the European Tour. They also get the honor of taking home a replica of the Wanamaker trophy for the year.

Bottom line

Signing up for Peacock or ESPN+ is your best bet for watching the Championship tournament, with the actual tournament being broadcast only on ESPN+. If you’ve been following the tour and are ready to see who takes home the cup this year, snag a free trial to either before the action begins.

If you’re outside of a geo-location that has access to the Championship, try using one of the best VPNs available to get access. With golf being a worldwide phenomenon, we know that fans may live across the globe. VPNs are an easy way to help you tune in.
