Players 2024: How to watch all the action at TPC Sawgrass on TV and streaming
Sam Greenwood
The Players Championship, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024, comes with its own unique level of anticipation. We’ll leave the “is it the fifth major?” debate for others to settle. There’s no denying, however, that golf fans get excited to watch the action at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass each year. That’s largely thanks to the dynamic and dramatic nature of the Pete Dye original. Particularly on the closing holes, where eagle-birdie-birdie on the par-5 16th (reachable in 2), par-3 17th (the famed island green) and the par-4 18th (DO NOT GO LEFT!) is rare but possible, as is bogey-double-double.
Sawgrass is the equivalent of the car crash you can’t help but watch. Thankfully, if you’re so inclined, there are plenty of ways to watch the action from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Golf Channel and NBC will showcase it all on TV in the U.S., with their coverage also seen on Peacock. Can’t wait for the linear broadcast to begin? Well ESPN+ will once again carry PGA Tour Live’s streaming coverage from sunrise to sunset with multiple feeds offering more than 150 hours of golf.
So you say that's not enough coverage? On Thursday and Friday morning, the PGA Tour will be showing every shot of every group on every hole—21 separate streams—starting at 7:30 a.m. both days. And on Saturday and Sunday, its All-Access coverage will include more than 30 feeds. Throughout the tournament, you can also see every shot from the par-3 17th hole.
