How To Watch a Tour Championship Live Stream 2023

Viktor Hovland pulled away from the field during the third round, in which he shot 66 and now leads by six. While Hovland was moving forward his rivals were tripping up. Overnight co-leader Collin Morikawa did not register a birdie until the 16th hole, and carded 73; Bradley had three bogeys in four holes; Scheffler three-putted from 12ft; Rahm found water on the 8th which he double bogeyed; Schauffele missed two 4ft putts in the final four holes.

Schauffele is Hovland’s nearest competitor. In seven years of playing the Tour Championship, Schauffele has never shot over par for a round. The six-shot lead Hovland has now mirrors that which Scottie Scheffler had last year starting the final round. Scheffler then shot a final day 73 and lost by a shot.

To make sure you miss none of the action, below are all the streaming and broadcast details on how to watch a Tour Championship live stream from wherever you are, as well as today's tee time information.

For the second successive year, Scottie Scheffler enters the Tour Championship as the number one ranked player in the FedExCup standings. He starts with at least a two-shot advantage over the rest of the field. He will start at -10. The second ranked player, who is Viktor Hovland following his scorching record-breaking win in last week’s BMW Championship, starts at -8.

This year’s Masters Champion Jon Rahm, who won four times in the early part of the year and was on top of the FedExCup standings for 30 straight weeks until he slipped to fourth after the BMW Championship, starts at -6.

Rahm is a shot worse off than third-ranked Rory McIlroy. McIlroy is the defending champion and seeking a record fourth FedExCup title; currently he and Tiger Woods are tied on three wins each. This is McIlroy’s highest position entering the Tour Championship since the FedExCup Starting Strokes format was introduced in 2019.

The portents are poor for Rahm, and indeed this season’s other Major winners in the field, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman. The last time someone won a Major and the FedExCup in the same season was in 2017 when Justin Thomas did so.

The full list of qualifiers and the strokes they receive is:

McIlroy -7; Rahm -6; Glover -5;
Homa, Cantlay, Harman, Clark, Fitzpatrick, -4;
Fleetwood, Henley, Bradley, Fowler, Schauffele -3;
Kim, Im, Finau, Conners, SW Kim -2;
Moore, Taylor, Schenk, Morikawa, Day, -1;
Burns, Grillo, Hatton, Spieth, Straka, level par.

How To Watch Tour Championship: Live Stream From The US

All times ET

Thursday, August 24: 1pm-6pm (Golf Channel)

Friday, August 25: 1pm-6pm (Golf Channel)

Saturday, August 26: 1pm-3pm (Golf Channel), 3pm-7pm (CBS)

Sunday, August 27: 12pm-1.30pm (Golf Channel), 1.30pm-6pm (CBS)

NBC's Golf Channel will televise the action from the Tour Championship. If you already have the Golf Channel as part of your cable TV package, then you're all set.

No cable? No problem. Try a cord-cutting TV service such as fuboTV ($74.99), AT&T TV Now ($80/m) or Sling ($51/m) to watch the Golf Channel. There are no long contracts with these services. You can try them and cancel whenever you've had enough. FuboTV has a 7-day free trial.

For Sling you'll need the Sling Blue package plus the Sports Extra add-on which usually has a very reasonable introductory price for your first month. Again, just cancel when you're done.

The most complete and the cheapest streamed choice, though, has got to be ESPN+. It's $9.99 per month (again, no contract) and has full coverage of every PGA Tour session. You can watch the main feed or stay with individual holes and marquee groups instead.

Watch every session on ESPN Plus

ExpressVPN is one of the best out there. It's easy to use, boasts strong security features, is very easy to setup and is compatible with most major streaming devices, including the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation.
