How To Watch a Tour Championship Live Stream 2023
Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and Viktor Hovland are tied for the lead after day one. Morikawa, who has not won all season, had seven birdies and an eagle in his nine-under-par 61. Bradley, carded a bogey-free 63, and last week’s winner Hovland shot a two-under 68.
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.
- Scheffler: -10
- Hovland: -8
- 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

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.
