Rory McIlroy heads into this week as the man to beat. Not only is he in prime form, with three wins already this season, including at the only Major so far, but he also has a winning record around the course.
Quail Hollow, the venue for this year’s PGA Championship, has been the regular host for the Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy has won this four times. The only other man with multiple wins in this event is Max Homa, with two.
McIlroy became only the sixth man to win all four modern Majors when he won the Masters a few weeks ago. This ended his wait of 11 years to add the final part of his Grand Slam. Another who has long been one title short of a Grand Slam is Jordan Spieth – and the missing Major in his case is the PGA Championship.
Spieth has been within one title of a Grand Slam since winning The Open Championship in 2017. Will this week see him also compete a Grand Slam? It looks unlikely, as he has not won on Tour since April 2022, but far stranger things have happened.
Below is a complete guide to where to watch PGA Championship 2025 live streams, daily schedules.

Watch PGA Championship 2025 live streams from anywhere
The 2025 PGA Championship live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you’re not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
You can still watch the PGA Tour thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software enables your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it is ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location.
3. Go to the broadcaster’s stream – head to your home broadcaster’s site or app and watch as if you were at home.
How to watch PGA Championship 2025 live streams in the U.S.
In the U.S., TV coverage of the PGA Championship is split between, ESPN+, ESPN and CBS, with streams on their respective streaming services as well as TV. The splits are as follows (times in ET):
• Thursday – Friday: ESPN+ (7 a.m.-1 p.m.); ESPN (1 p.m.-7 p.m.)
• Saturday – Sunday: ESPN+ (8 a.m.-10 a.m.); ESPN (10 a.m.-1 p.m.); CBS (1 p.m.-7 p.m.)
If you already have these channels as part of your cable TV package, then you’re all set.
If not, try a cord-cutting TV service such as Sling TV, which comes with two plans: Sling Orange and Sling Blue, both starting at $45.99. To get the Golf Channel you’ll need the Sports Extra add-on, which is an additional $11 per month. Grab the Sling half-price discount on both plans.
Fubo (7-day free trial) is another cord-cutting streaming service through which you’ll be able to watch the PGA Championship . Subscriptions to the Pro Plan cost $84.99 per month.
CBS will also have a live stream on its streaming platform Paramount Plus, where you’ll need the Showtime plan, which starts at $12.99/month.
ESPN+ will also stream action from this year’s championship but coverage is pretty limited. We’d combine Sling TV and Paramount Plus for the best PGA Championship coverage.
Anyone outside of the States who wants to watch their home golf coverage can just pick up a good VPN and follow the instructions above to live stream all the PGA Championship golf safely.
