Players 2025: How to watch all the golf action from TPC Sawgrass on TV and streaming
Logan Bowles
This story isn't for you if you made it to TPC Sawgrass for this week’s Players Championship. But for the rest of you watching from home (most of us at Golf Digest included), you’ll probably want to know how to watch and listen to the most star-studded event of this young PGA Tour season.
The 51st Players Championship is somehow already here, which means we’ll have Scottie Scheffler teeing off for a three-peat, the best of the best duking it out and a bundle of nerves every time a golfer reaches No. 17. The Pete Dye original will force some of the best golfers in the world to show their wares in front of the viewing public, and let’s make sure you know how to view every single shot from the opening round to (hopefully) a three-hole playoff on Sunday.
Golf Channel and NBC will showcase it all on TV in the U.S., with their coverage also available on Peacock. But if you’re jonesing for some early golf content, 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. With a seemingly endless number of streams, you’ll be able to watch every single shot across the Players starting around 7:30 am every day. And of course, there’ll be an exclusive feed just for the par-3 Island Green at No. 17. No need to worry about a splash zone if you’re watching on TV!
Below is a list with specific times and where to find coverage.
