How to watch PGA Championship 2024: Live Stream This Year's Second Major Online
How to watch the Valhalla action from anywhere in the world
A field of 156 golfers will contest the second men’s Major of 2024 at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky. This article explains how to watch a PGA Championship live stream – including information on how you can watch from anywhere with a VPN.
Dates: May16-19 |
Venue: Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky |
TV channel: CBS (US) | Sky Sports (UK) | Kayo Sports (Aus) |
Watch every session: ESPN+ |
Watch from anywhere: Use NordVPN |
World number one Scottie Scheffler starts as the clear favorite. He won the year’s first Major, the Masters, and has won four of his last five tournaments.
Brooks Koepka is the defending champion. He has won the PGA Championship three times, having also triumphed in 2018 and 2019. The five-time Major winner comes into the tournament having won on his last outing, LIV Golf Singapore, where he became the first player to win four LIV Golf events.
The last time the PGA Championship was held at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Valhalla was in 2014 when Rory McIlroy was the victor – the last time the Northern Irishman won a Major. However, changes to the course, in a particular reseeding the fairways with a different type of grass, give this year’s layout a subtly different character to the track that McIlroy won over.
Another who has not won a Major for some time is Jordan Spieth. Victory here would give him a career Grand Slam of all four Majors, something only achieved by Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. The Wanamaker Trophy would complete the set for the 30-year old Texan after his victories at The Masters and US Open in 2015 and The Open in 2017.
This is the fourth PGA Championship to be held at Valhalla and another past winner here, Tiger Woods, is in this year’s field. He won here in 2000. It is one of his four PGA Championship titles, as the 48-year-old also won in 1999, 2006 and 2007.
Read on to find out how to watch PGA Championship golf in 2024. You'll also find tee times at the end of the article when they're announced.
PGA Championship 2024; Day four preview
The set up of the course, allied to the soft conditions of the greens caused by recent rain, has provided excellent conditions for a tournament. It has rewarded bold, attacking play and players know they have to attack as the winner will be someone with a really low score – and this tournament has already been setting low-scoring records. The final day looks set be another exhilarating, gripping contest and provide compulsive viewing with so many good players bunched tight at the top of the leaderboard.
Leaderboard after Round Three:
-15 Morikawa, Schauffele
-14 Theegala
-13 Lowry, DeChambeau, Hovland
-12 Rose, MacInytre
-11 Burmester
-10 Finau, Thomas, Hodges, Detry, English, Eckroat
How to watch PGA Championship 2024 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the golf via your usual streaming service?
You can still watch the golf live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite – as recommended by the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom's Guide – is NordVPN.
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 5,000 servers, across 60 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
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 just as if you were sitting on your sofa at home.

Golf fans in the US can watch PGA Championship live streams on ESPN and CBS. ESPN has coverage of all four days, while CBS will broadcast Saturday's third round and Sunday's final round.

Fubo has the advantage of including both ESPN and CBS (as well as NBC's Golf Channel) in its $79.99/month Pro package – alongside 178 other channels.
The ESPN Plus streaming service will also host live coverage of the 2024 PGA Championship across all four days. A subscription costs $10.99/month or $109.99 annually.
And you can watch CBS's coverage of the 2024 PGA Championship on the Paramount Plus streaming service. You'll need a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscription to watch the CBS Sports live stream. That will set you back $11.99/month or $119.99/year.

How to watch PGA Championship: live stream from Australia
In Australia, the most comprehensive golf coverage is offered by Kayo Sports where you can check out Fox Sports, which broadcasts the PGA Tour coverage. Not only can you watch a PGA Championship live stream from Kentucky, it's also the place to go for all the PGA Tour and DP World Tour events, and the other Majors. You can watch events from the LPGA Tour, too.
On top of all that, Kayo Sports offers access to over 50 sports live and on-demand, with some its big name channels including Fox Sports, ESPN, and beIN Sports.
It's also good value at either $25 for Kayo One or $35 for Kayo Basic. Basic lets you stream sport on two devices at once. There's even a free 7-day trial.

Friday, May 17 (Round 1): 3am-9am (Fox Sports via Kayo Sports)
Saturday, May 18 (Round 2): 3am-9am (Fox Sports via Kayo Sports)
