There is a familiarity with the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass that makes watching the Players Championship a distinctly entertaining experience for golf fans. Pivotal shots from tournaments past enter the mind’s eye as they echo throughout the telecast—often quite literally given how frequently NBC’s broadcasts relive past highlights. Meanwhile, the anticipation for the closing stretch of the par-5 16th (reachable in 2), par-3 17th (the famed island green) and the par-4 18th (water left the whole way home) creates its own organic drama that becomes captivating television no matter who is in the hunt.

Long story short: You’re going to want to carve out some time to catch the action from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. And there are plenty of ways to do that, Golf Channel and NBC once again airing the TV broadcast, with their coverage also seen on Peacock.

Along with TV coverage, ESPN+ will carry PGA Tour Live’s streaming coverage from sunrise to sunset with multiple feeds offering more than 160 hours of golf. And for the fourth year, the PGA Tour will be offering its Every Shot Live streaming experience, making it possible to see, as the name suggests, every shot from the entire tournament. Coverage is expected to run from 6:30 a.m.-8 p.m. ET Thursday and Friday, and 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
