The Ryder Cup, golf’s original team competition (sorry LIV and TGL) is underway and Europe are clinging to a slim lead. Here's where to watch the Ryder Cup 2025 and other key details about the competition here for you in one place.

After Team Europe retook the Ryder Cup in 2023 in Italy, the Ryder Cup is returning to the US, where Team USA hopes to extend their streak of victories on home soil to three. However, Europe has been the dominant team in the competition for the last 25 years, winning seven of the 11 Ryder Cups that have taken place in the 21st century.

If you’re excited for many of the best golfers in the world (well, those who hail from the US or a European/UK country anyway) to compete in this unique tournament, then read on for all the info on where to watch the Ryder Cup free in the UK, as well as where it’s taking place, who’s playing and more.

How to watch the Ryder Cup 2025 in the US

NBC is the broadcast home of the Ryder Cup in the US. While an exact TV schedule for the tournament has not yet been announced, we can assume that coverage will be carried on the main NBC station, with streaming options likely available on Peacock.

As a national broadcast station, NBC is included as part of all basic pay-TV providers and can be received through a TV antenna. NBC is also carried by live TV streaming services, including Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

If you’ve cut the cord from traditional live TV services, Peacock is likely going to provide subscribers with the ability to watch the Ryder Cup. Again, while not confirmed, Peacock’s coverage will include both live streams of NBC’s broadcast as well as potentially some exclusive coverage. Any subscriber to Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus will presumably be able to stream the Ryder Cup.

How to watch the Ryder Cup 2025 in the UK

For golf fans in the UK, the Ryder Cup will be shown on Sky Sports, with the channel exclusively covering all three days of the tournament live.

In order to watch the Ryder Cup on Sky Sports, you must be a Sky TV subscriber.

How to watch the Ryder Cup 2025 from anywhere

If you are going to be away from home during the Ryder Cup and are blocked from watching the golf on your usual subscription, you can still watch the tournament live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your favorite sport, TV show or other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our rankings.

Ryder Cup 2025 dates

Ryder Cup 2025 takes place over three days, from Friday, September 26, to Sunday, September 28.

Ryder Cup 2025 location

The Ryder Cup 2025 is being played at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y.

The location of the Ryder Cup changes each year, with the US and Europe alternating each tournament. The last tournament in 2023 took place at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Italy, and the 2021 tournament was played at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

This will be the first time that the Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black, which first opened in 1936, but the course is no stranger to big events. It has hosted two US Opens and a PGA Championship, as well as a handful of other PGA Tour events.

Ryder Cup 2025 teams

Team USA and Team Europe consist of 12 players each. Six players for each team automatically qualify based on points earned over the course of the golf season (Team USA and Team Europe use different point systems). The remaining six players are captains' picks.

FYI, LIV players are eligible to make the Ryder Cup for both teams, but unless they earn enough points to qualify in sanctioned events, they will rely on being captain’s picks.

As of August 6, here’s a look at the Ryder Cup 2025 standings for Team USA and Team Europe (a “Q” next to a player’s name means they have qualified for the team).

Team USA

1. Scottie Scheffler (Q) — 33,580.33
2. JJ Spaun (Q) — 14,638.91
3. Xander Schauffele — 13,570.02
4. Russell Henley — 11,904.82
5. Bryson DeChambeau — 10,774.98
6. Harris English — 10,439.55
7. Justin Thomas — 10,347.59
8. Collin Morikawa — 9,929.77
9. Ben Griffin — 9,304.76
10. Keegan Bradley — 8,103.00
11. Maverick McNealy — 7,553.65
12. Andrew Novak — 7,230.48
13. Brian Harman — 7,194.16
14. Cameron Young — 6,689.64
15. Patrick Cantlay — 6,570.39

Team Europe

2. Justin Rose (Q) — 1,519.62
3. Tommy Fleetwood (Q) — 1,483.61
4. Robert MacIntyre — 1,375.94
5. Tyrrell Hatton — 1,279.33
6. Sepp Straka — 1,264.27
7. Shane Lowry — 1,234.11

13. Thomas Detry — 800.39
14. Aaron Rai — 743.31
15. Jordan Smith — 727.29

Full standings are available on the Ryder Cup website.

Ryder Cup 2025 captains

The captains for the Ryder Cup 2025 are Keegan Bradley for Team USA and Luke Donald for Team Europe.

Bradley has been on the PGA Tour since 2011, over which time he has amassed eight wins on the PGA Tour, including a PGA Championship in his rookie season, which helped him to earn PGA Rookie of the Year honors. He previously played on Team USA in the Ryder Cup in 2012 and 2014.

Bradley's selection as captain was an interesting one, as he was in the running for a spot on the team in 2023 but just missed out. Now he has the chance to be on the team as a player/captain. 10th in the points standings at the beginning of August, his play this season makes a strong case for him to make himself a captain's pick if he doesn't qualify automatically. If that happens, he would be the first player/captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.

As for Team Europe's captain, they are keeping things consistent as Donald is the team's captain for the second straight Ryder Cup after helping deliver a win in 2023. This is the first time that Team Europe has had a captain for back-to-back Ryder Cups since Bernard Gallacher, who served as their captain for three straight Ryder Cups from 1991-1995. Donald is also trying to become the first Team Europe captain to win back-to-back Ryder Cups since Colin Montgomerie, Jose Marie Olazabal and Paul McGinley won three straight from 2010-2014.

Ryder Cup format

There are three days of Ryder Cup competition that determine who wins the event, with three variations of match play used for the tournament:

Four-ball: each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, with the lowest score of the hole for each team counting as the team’s official score. The team that has the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the two teams have the same score, then the hole is halved.

Foursomes: each two-man team plays one ball per hole, with the players taking turns until each hole is complete. Players alternate hitting tee shots. The team with the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the two teams have the same score, then the hole is halved.

Singles: every player from each team competes in 12 head-to-head matches. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the players have the same score, then the hole is halved.

Thing to note, players can concede a hole to their opponent, meaning they let their opponent pick up their ball without putting it in the hole, giving them the score they would have made had the next stroke gone in the hole (i.e., if a player had a tap-in putt for birdie, the opponent conceding that would mean the player earns the birdie automatically).

Friday and Saturday during the Ryder Cup will consist of four matches of four-ball and four matches of foursomes each day, while Sunday will see 12 singles matches taking place.

For match scoring, winning a hole gives a player/team one point, halving a hole means no one gets any points. Here’s a quick breakdown of how tallying points would work:

• Each match begins "all squared"
• If Team USA won the first hole, they would be up one in the match
• If Team Europe won the second hole, the match would then be all squared again
• If the team leading wins another hole before their opponent does, they increase their lead (two up, three up, etc.). Any hole won by the opponent decreases their lead
• If a hole is halved, the match remains at whatever score it was when the hole started

Whoever is leading the match after 18 holes wins the entire match and earns a tournament point for their team. If a match is tied after 18 holes, then each team gets half a point. Matches can end before 18 holes if it is not mathematically possible for the other team to get the match back to all square at the conclusion of the 18th hole (for example, Team USA is up four holes with three to play).

There are 28 matches in total as part of the Ryder Cup. For Team USA to win the Ryder Cup in 2025, they must earn at least 14 ½ points from all those matches. As the defending champion, Team Europe can retain the cup if they earn at least 14 ½ points or if the event ends in a 14-14 tie.

To no one’s surprise, Happy Gilmore 2 is a hit on Netflix, as the sequel to the beloved Adam Sandler comedy finally arrived on the streamer on July 25. But while we knew that the movie was set to have a number of cameos featuring real-life professional golfers and other celebs, I’m not sure anyone was prepared for just how many cameos there were.

Just about every major golfer of the last five years (sans Tiger Woods) and some of the greatest to ever play the game got a moment to shine in the movie. The movie even served as a peace between the PGA Tour stars and LIV golfers. But there were definitely a few cameos that were among my favorites.

If we’re handing out a best performance trophy among the professional golfers, that would definitely go to John Daly, who plays himself and serves as a wacky uncle to the Gilmore family. Then there are definitely a few jokes that I was pleasantly surprised that the golfers were OK with, most notably world No. 1 and recent Open Championship winner Scottie Scheffler poking some fun at himself and the incident of his arrest a couple of years back for a traffic violation. But neither of those was my favorite.

The best cameo from a pro golfer came from Will Zalatoris to create a fantastic callback to the original movie.

Zalatoris plays himself in the movie, but with a fun fictional twist. It’s revealed that Zalatoris was the young caddy that Happy has in the tournament where he qualifies for the pro tour, the one he famously tackled and choked as he went through joyous and frustrating moments on the course. In the sequel, Zalatoris is playing with Happy as a member of the tour, though he has a hard time shaking the trappings of the first time they were on a golf course together.

This is a great bit of meta humor, as when Zalatoris first broke out as a pro in 2021, many were quick to notice his resemblance to Happy Gilmore’s first caddy. Sandler even sent a tweet when Zalatoris was in contention at the Masters tournament, noting the comparison.

Never mind that Zalatoris was actually born six months after Happy Gilmore was released, the resemblance is perfect, and it made for one of the standout jokes in the movie.

You can watch both Happy Gilmore and Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix right now, but only for a few more days as the original is leaving the streaming service at the end of the month.

Stick season 2 makes the cut. Literally hours after the Stick season 1 finale dropped on Apple TV Plus, the streaming studio announced that it was renewing the sports comedy for a second season.

Created by Jason Keller and starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson, Stick has proven to be another solid Apple TV Plus original series, earning good notices from critics; the show has a “Fresh” rating via Rotten Tomatoes. So they’re teeing things up again to continue the story of Pryce “Stick” Cahill and his young protege, Santi.

Here’s everything we know right now about Stick season 2.

Stick season 2 release date

A released date for Stick season 2 has not been announced at this time.

There’s no indication of a release window for the next season, but if it follows a similar strategy as season 1 one did, then we could be looking at a release during the first-half of summer in 2026.

While you wait, you can watch all of Stick season 1 episodes exclusively on Apple TV Plus (subscription required).

Stick season 2 cast

Stick season 2 is bringing the team back together, as all of the main cast are set to return for the new season.

This includes Wilson as Pryce, Peter Dager as Santi, Marc Maron as Mitts, Mariana Treviño as Elena and Lilli Kay as Zero. It’s unclear at this time if other big names from season 1, like Judy Greer or Timothy Olyphant, will return in any capacity.

Beyond the main cast, which real life golfers they are able to get to appear in Stick season 2 will also be something worth monitoring. Season 1 saw Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley, Max Homa and Wyndham Clark among the current professional golfers to make cameos, as did golf broadcasters and media figures Trevor Immelman, Good Good’s Matt Scharff, Brad Dalke, Garrett Clark and Dan Rapaport. TBD on if any of them will return and what other golf figures may make an appearance.

Stick season 2 plot

(FYI, some SPOILERS ahead for Stick season 1.)

No plot details have been shared for Stick season 2, but there are some interesting potential options following the Stick season 1 finale.

After Pryce and Santi manage to win their first tournament, the two play together on their local course. This is a rare instance where Santi gets to see his mentor’s game, and he quickly comes away impressed. Could Pryce still have a future as a player, with his comeback attempt part of season 2?

The only hint that we have came from Apple TV Plus’ head of programming, Matt Cherniss, who said in a press release, “There’s plenty more in the bag for fans of the series, and we’re thrilled they’ll soon have the chance to discover Pryce Cahill’s next chapter.”

Stick season 2 trailer

There is no trailer for Stick season 2 at this time. When one becomes available we’ll add it here.

Though Apple did announce this announcement video for the new season:

Golf's oldest major, the Open Championship, returns to the Emerald Isle for its 153rd playing. The Open Championship is also the final major of the year, so we've got everything golf fans need to know about how to watch the 2025 Open Championship right here.

While quality Apple TV Plus original series have been growing in numbers over the last couple of years, Ted Lasso remains the gold standard for the streamer. But another sports comedy is now streaming on the platform that hopes to enjoy similar success, the new golf comedy Stick starring Owen Wilson.

Created by Jason Keller, who previously wrote the hit movie Ford v Ferrari, Stick follows Wilson’s Pryce Cahill, an ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed and is now selling sporting goods and getting a divorce. But things start to turn around when he discovers a 17-year-old golf phenom whom he takes under his wing and tries to help him succeed where Pryce failed.

In addition to Wilson, Stick stars Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer, Timothy Olyphant and Peter Dager. Not to mention the series will feature real-life golf figures, including current pro golfers Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley, Max Homa and Wyndham Clark, and golf’s main broadcast duo Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman.

Reviews for Stick are pretty solid, as the series is “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes as of publication, with The Hollywood Reporter calling the series “endearing” and the “ideal summer comfort viewing.”

As a fan of golf, I’m definitely excited to give Stick a try. The ups and downs of the game are ripe for comedy, and the fact that so many actual golfers are participating should lend some cool authenticity to the show. I’m also hoping that Stick can drive up the popularity of golf in similar ways that Ted Lasso did for soccer in the US.

Right now, you can watch the first three episodes of Stick on Apple TV Plus. Moving forward, a new episode of Stick is going to premiere every Wednesday. With 10 episodes in the inaugural season, that should mean new episodes will be dropping through July 23.

You need an Apple TV Plus subscription to watch Stick. But in addition to letting you watch the new comedy, you’ll also be able to tune into recent Apple TV Plus hits like The Studio, Your Friends and Neighbors, Murderbot, as well as upcoming series The Buccaneers season 2 and Smoke.

Check out the trailer for Stick right here to get a sneak peek at what’s in store with the show:

CBS and ESPN are available with just about any traditional pay-TV provider and most live TV streaming services; they both are available on Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, but only ESPN is available on Sling TV.

You can also stream the 2025 PGA Championship, with CBS and ESPN offering live streams of the tournament.

As far as signing up for ESPN Plus, it is available as a standalone service, as part of Hulu with Live TV or bundled for a single monthly fee with Disney Plus and Hulu.

The other option, if you're old school, is a TV antenna. However, that will only give you access to the third and final round airing on CBS.

And not only will the new series feature Wilson and a group of other well known actors, but also some of the biggest names in golf today.

For more information on all of this, read on to get everything you need to know about Stick.

Stick episode 10, the season finale, is streaming on Apple TV Plus on as of Wednesday, July 23.

In order to watch Stick, you must have an Apple TV Plus subscription.

Stick cast

Owen Wilson plays Pryce Cahill in Stick, a former golf pro whose career flamed out and now he is looking for a shot at redemption as a coach. Wilson has been the star of some major comedy movies, including Bottle Rocket (and other Wes Anderson movies), Shanghai Noon, Wedding Crashers, Pixar’s Cars franchise and more. Most recently he’s starred in the Marvel TV show Loki.

The other members of the Stick cast include Marc Maron (The Order), Mariana Treviño (A Man Called Otto), Lilli Kay (Yellowstone), Judy Greer (Archer), Timothy Olyphant (Justified: City Primeval) and Peter Dager (Insidious: The Red Door).

Here is the official synopsis for Stick:

“Owen Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Peter Dager). Stick is a heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.”

It's time once again for the annual tradition of the world's best golfers heading to Augusta National Golf Course, as The Masters 2025 is just days away, with the tournament taking place April 10-13.

Golf fans are certainly not going to want to miss any of the action. The first of four majors on the golf calendar, there is going to be wall-to-wall coverage of the 2025 Masters, including pre-tournament coverage starting Monday, April 7, all the way through the final hole and the winner slipping on the green jacket on Sunday, April 13.

While we'll have to wait and see the play on the course to know who or what the biggest storylines are going to be, as always there are storylines aplenty. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the reigning Masters champ hoping to defend his title. Among those hoping to best Scheffler this week are Ludvig Åberg, Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa, Viktor Hovland, Min Woo Lee (fresh off his ever PGA Tour win), Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele. If you're wondering, Tiger Woods is not playing as he recovers from an achilles injry.

The best way to find out about all of these questions is to watch The Masters? But can you stream it, and if so where? And where is it available to watch on TV? We’ve got everything you need to know on how to watch it from wherever you are right here.

There’s an old saying that golf is a good walk spoiled, but if Netflix’s Full Swing has taught us anything (besides what a cut is) it’s that a behind-the-scenes look at pro golf also makes for some great TV. And it’s time for some more as all episodes of Full Swing season 3 are now streaming on Netflix.

Full Swing, which comes from the same production team that produced Netflix’s popular F1 series Drive to Survive, has been following some of golf’s best players since the 2022 season, tracking their play on the course (including the four major championships and in season 2 the bi-annual Ryder Cup), their lives off the course and the shifting landscape of golf, embodied by the emergence of LIV.

In Full Swing season 3, get an all-access look at some of the biggest and most incredible stories of the 2024 golf season. That includes an inside look at Scottie Scheffler’s historic season that rivaled that of Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau’s evolution from anti-hero to fan favorite and off course drama that included an arrest, a divorce and a remarkable recovery from a life threatening illness.

In addition to Scheffler and DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Åberg, Keegan Bradley, Joel Dahmen, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala and Justin Thomas are among the players that are going to be featured this season.

People have loved Full Swing’s first two seasons, as evidenced by the fact that the show has a 100% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Even non-golf fans have found Full Swing entertaining, with subscribers watching it for 53.1 million hours in the first six months of the first season’s release.

If you’re just as excited as I am, or you want to start watching Full Swing (it’s definitely a show you can just jump into without needing to go back and watch past seasons unless you want to), you must have a Netflix subscription to do so.

Need some final convincing? Check out the Full Swing season 3 trailer, which previews what’s on the docket for this latest batch of episodes.

All three seasons of Full Swing are now available to watch exclusively on Netflix.

You’ve seen the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, but starting Tuesday, January 7, there’s a new golf league for fans to enjoy, the TGL. Backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the TGL begins its inaugural season tonight, airing at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT on ESPN and streaming on ESPN Plus.

Featuring many of golf’s best players, the TGL is a new type of golf league, featuring a unique match-play format and teams, all taking place in a state-of-the-art indoor arena that combines a simulator and an adjustable green. Matches will air on Mondays and Tuesdays during primetime over the next few months.

This first match airing on January 7 will feature the New York Golf Club, featuring Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele, going up against The Bay Golf Club, represented by Ludvig Åberg, Wyndham Clark and Shane Lowry. Scott Van Pelt, Matt Barrie and Marty Smith are serving as the ESPN telecast team for the inaugural season.

In TGL, each match will feature two teams of three players in a 15-hole match that includes nine holes of "Triples" (three vs three alternate shot) and six holes of Singles (head-to-head play). The team with the fewest shots to complete a hole earns their team one point, if the teams tie then zero points are awarded; there are no carryover points. The team with the most points at the end of the 15 holes wins. If the match is tied after 15 holes, the match will be settled with a three vs three closest to the pin challenge.

Another thing to know about the TGL format is that there is a shot clock, forcing teams to hit within 40 seconds (designed to have the match completed in two hours). The broadcast will also feature unprecedented audio access with all players mic’d; advanced shot data; a production plan featuring robotic and embedded cameras throughout the field of play; and a high-tech, in-venue lighting and video presentation.

The TGL features 24 of the best golfers in the world divided into six teams of four. In addition to the New York Golf Club (Fitzpatrick, Fowler, Schauffele and Cameron Young) and The Bay Golf Club (Åberg, Clark, Lowry and Min Woo Lee), the teams include Atlanta Drive GC (Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover, Billy Horschel, Justin), Boston Common Golf (Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott), Jupiter Links Golf Club (Max Homa, Tom Kim, Kevin Kisner, Tiger Woods) and Los Angeles Golf Club (Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala).

To watch the inaugural TGL match on January 7, you must have access to ESPN or ESPN Plus. The cable channel is available through traditional pay-TV providers or live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. To watch on ESPN Plus, you can simply subscribe to the streaming service directly, or you can access ESPN Plus through Disney Plus or Hulu with Live TV.

The LIV vs PGA rivalry is center stage in a brand new exhibition event between four of golf’s biggest names in The Crypto.com Showdown. While temperatures have cooled between the two professional golf leagues, there’s still a strong bit of pride between those who moved to the new league LIV and the old standard of the PGA that will play out over 18 holes.

To be clear, while it is a similar event, The Crypto.com Showdown is not another edition of The Match, the exhibition golf matches that have featured pro golfers and famous amateurs, including the recent Match: Superstars edition.

What makes it different? Where and when is it going to be played? And, most importantly, who’s playing in it? Read on to get all of that info.

The Crypto.com Showdown date

The inaugural Crypto.com Showdown takes place tonight, Tuesday, December 17, at 6 pm ET. The event is going to air on TNT and stream on Max.

In order to watch on TNT, you need a traditional pay-TV provider or a live TV streaming service that carries the cable network; in the case of the latter that includes Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. To stream the event on Max, you must be a subscriber to the platform, which currently is offering all subscribers the B/R Sports add-on as part of the base Max package.

At this time we don’t have any info on UK channels you can watch The Crypto.com Showdown on, so you’re best bet may be a VPN (we recommend NordVPN).

The Crypto.com Showdown golfers

Four of the best golfers in the world will square off in the event. Representing LIV are Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, while on the PGA side are Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.

DeChambeau and Koepka are both multi-major winners; two for DeChambeau (both US Opens) and five for Koepka (two US Opens, three PGA Championships). In fact, they are the only two LIV golf players who have won majors after they joined the new league. They each have also participated in The Match. DeChambeau played in a four-ball match with Aaron Rodgers against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady and won, then he went head-to-head with Koepka (Koepka’s lone appearance on The Match) and won.

Rory McIlroy is one of the biggest names on the PGA Tour as a four-time major champion (one US Open, two PGA Championships, one Open Championship) and with 25 has the most wins among regularly active PGA Tour players. Scheffler, meanwhile, is the top-ranked player in the world (LIV players don’t earn World Golf Ranking points from their league) and is coming off a record year where he won seven times, including The Masters and The Tour Championship and earned a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. As far as their past experience in these types of exhibitions, McIlroy has played in two (won one, lost one) while this is the first such event for Scheffler.

The Crypto.com Showdown format

The format for The Crypto.com Showdown is going to be a little different than The Match.

The 18-hole match will be played in three sections, six holes each, with each section assigned a point value. The first six holes will be played in best ball (where each player hits a shot and the team picks the result), followed by alternate show (one player on each team takes a shot, with their teammate playing the next) and then the final six holes with everyone playing their own ball.

Whichever team has the most points at the end of the match is going to be the winner, taking home the prize money, which will be given out in CRO Cryptocurrency.

The Crypto.com Showdown commentators

TNT Sports is the primary producer of The Crypto.com Showdown, and as such will have Ernie Johnson emceeing the event, joined in the booth by Charles Barkley, Trevor Immelman and David Feherty as analysts. Reporting from on the course will be Bubba Watson and Lauren Jbara.

The golfers will also be a part of the broadcast as they’ll be mic’d up.

The Crypto.com Showdown course

Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas is going to host The Crypto.com Showdown. Designed by Tom Fazio, Shadow Creek consistently is ranked among the best golf courses in the world by golf magazines.

The course is a par 72 that plays 7,560 yards.

Shadow Creek is the course where the first edition of The Match was played in 2018, when Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson squared off in a matchplay event.

The Match has become an anticipated event on most golf fans’ calendars, and for its 10th edition the tournament is going to be bigger than ever. Dubbed The Match: Superstars, this latest iteration (the second in 2024) is going to feature eight avid amateur golfers from the celebrity and sports ranks competing in a two-night event.

What originally started as a one-vs-one match play event between iconic golfers Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson has grown to this anticipated event that brings together a wide range of participants for some entertaining golf in a more laid back environment (the ribbing between the players is always a highlight), as well as raising millions for charity. To date The Match has raised $41 million for various organizations and donated 27 million meals to Feeding America. This year, money is being raised for hurricane relief.

When is The Match and who is playing in it? Read on to get everything you need to know about the event.

The Match: Superstars date

After the first round of matches aired on November 21, the semifinals and finals of The Match: Superstars will be shown on TNT at 7:30 pm on Friday, November 22.

How to watch The Match: Superstars

Anyone who wants to watch The Match: Superstars live is going to have both a traditional TV option and a streaming option available to them.

First, TNT is handling the TV coverage of the event. The cable channel is available through traditional pay-TV providers and live TV streaming services like Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

If you’ve cut the cord on live TV channels, you can stream The Match: Superstars live on Max. It is not specified whether or not The Match: Superstars stream on Max will be its own special stream or if it falls under the B/R Sports add-on for the streamer. However, Max’s promotional offer of the B/R Sports add-on channel, where anyone who subscribes can access it for free, is still available, so really it’s a moot point.

There will be additional coverage on social and digital extensions via Bleacher Report and House of Highlights.

The Match: Superstars golfers

While there are no professional golfers competing in this version of The Match, some massive names are set to comprise the largest field ever for The Match. Here are the golfers for The Match: Superstars:

• Nate Bargatze, comedian
• Charles Barkley, NBA hall of famer, current TNT basketball analyst
• Wayne Gretzky, NHL hall of famer, current TNT hockey analyst
• Ken Griffey Jr., MLB hall of famer
• Blake Griffin, former NBA all-star
• Bill Murray, Oscar-nominated actor
• Michael Phelps, 28-time Olympic medalist
• Mark Wahlberg, Oscar-nominated actor

Of this group, Barkley is the only one to have previously participated in The Match, winning when paired with Phil Mickelson against Peyton Manning and Steph Curry.

The Match: Superstars format

With the expanded field, the format for The Match: Superstars is a little different than in past years, as it combines two vs two scramble matches (each player hits a shot, and the team picks the best ball to continue playing) and individual match play.

The competition began with the two vs two matches on November 21. Here are the pairings and winners (in bold):

• Michael Phelps/Mark Wahlberg vs Nate Bargatze/Blake Griffin
• Wayne Gretzky/Bill Murray vs Charles Barkley/Ken Griffey Jr.,

For the semifinals on Friday, November 22, the former teammates will face off, so its:

• Michael Phelps vs Mark Wahlberg
• Wayne Gretzky vs Bill Murray

The winners of those semifinal matches will then face each other in the finals.

The Match: Superstars commentators

Helping bring The Match: Superstars to fans is the commentating team for the event, led by Emmy-winner Ernie Johnson as the host, his fifth time calling The Match. He will be joined by Trevor Immelman, CBS golf analyst who still stay in that role for his eighth appearance on The Match; two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson as an on-course correspondent for the first time; and Kathryn Tappen working as a course reporter at The Match for a fourth time.

In addition to playing, Barkley will also be serving as an analyst for the broadcast, likely taking part in the booth when he is not competing (though I’m sure he, and all the golfers, will be mic’d up and chiming in throughout their time on the course).

The Match: Superstars golf course

This iteration of The Match is going to take place at The Breakers Rees Jones Course at The Breakers Rees Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. The course is a par 72.

The Match winners

Here is the full list of past winners of The Match.

Golf is getting a new look with TGL, a new tech-forward team golf league that was developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The league looks to bring the excitement of seeing the best players in the world go up against each other in match play formats, but in a shorter time frame than a traditional tournament on the PGA Tour and in a specifically designed arena.

"TGL is the next evolution within professional golf, and I am committed to helping lead it into the future," said Tiger Woods when the league was first announced in 2022. "Embracing technology to create this unique environment gives us the ability to move our sport into primetime on a consistent basis alongside so many of sports’ biggest events."

TGL format

TGL has shared what their matches are going to look like, playing what they call "modern match play."

Two teams made up of three players each will tee off in a 15-hole match that includes nine holes of "Triples" (three vs three alternate shot) and six holes of Singles (head-to-head play). The team with the fewest shots to complete a hole earns their team one point, if the teams tie then zero points are awarded; there are no carryover points. The team with the most points at the end of the 15 holes wins. If the match is tied after 15 holes, the match will be settled with a three vs three closest to the pin challenge.

A little more on the format. With the alternate shot, let's say Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas and Justin Rose are playing as a team. Woods would tee off, then Thomas would hit the next shot, followed by Rose. If they need to hit another shot, it would go back around to Woods as the cycle restarts.

In the singles format, each players plays two holes one-on-one against the other team. So, Woods would play hole 10 and 13 one-on-one against an opposing player, Thomas hole 11 and 14, while Rose would have 12 and 15.

That is the individual game format, the overall league format sees teams earning points based on the outcome of their matches. A win (in regulation or overtime) gets a team two points, a loss in overtime nets one point and a loss in regulation earns no points.

The four teams with the most points at the end of the regular season qualify for the postseason, which will be a single elimination bracket tournament. The team with the most points will play the team with the fourth most points, while the teams with the second and third most points will play in the first round. The winner of those semifinal matches will then play in the championship.

There are also some specific rules that are being introduced (at least to golf) for the TGL. The first a shot clock, with players having 40 seconds to hit or a shot or be assessed a one-stroke penalty. Each time is also going to have four timeouts per match, two for the 3 vs 3 segment and two for the singles portion. Also, there will be a designated ref to keep on top of all the action and enforce the traditional PGA tour rules, as well as the few new ones, like the shot clock.

All matches will take place in the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., which combines virtual course elements for driving and fairway shots and then a live green area for chipping and putting, all with live fans in attendance.

Another season of Full Swing is being teed up at Netflix. Full Swing season 3 is bringing back the popular behind-the-scenes look at the world of professional golf, in particular looking at the 2024 golf season that included some historic runs, memorable tournaments and, for the first time on Full Swing, Olympic competition.

Netflix held its upfront presentation on Wednesday, May 15, announcing many of its upcoming projects, including renewing 3 Body Problem and new projects starring Keira Knightley, Tim McGraw and Shane Gillis. But the biggest news for many (even bigger than Netflix landing live NFL games for the first time) was the announcement that Adam Sandler is reprising one of his most iconic characters as Netflix has officially greenlit Happy Gilmore 2, confirming that a sequel was on the way after a lot of buzz had been building about it.

The 1996 golf comedy (streaming on Netflix) was one of the movies that made Sandler the star he is today and remains one of his most beloved roles. In the movie he stars as a short-fused hockey player who discovers he has the ability to drive a golf ball further than anyone else, which he hopes to use to win money to get back his grandmother's house. But standing in his way is hot shot golfer Shooter McGavin, who is threatened by Happy's talents potentially outshining him on the tour. In addition to Sandler, Happy Gilmore starred Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Carl Weathers. Almost no details about the sequel are known beyond the fact that we're getting one

But that’s not the only golf-centric news that Netflix announced in its presentation. Will Ferrell is also set to star in a new TV show for the streamer simply titled GOLF, where he will star as a fictional golf legend alongside Ramy Youssef.

It would seem that Netflix is a fan of golf. In addition to these upcoming projects, the streamer has seen success with their reality show Full Swing (season 2 released earlier this year), which follows real-life golf pros as they go throughout the golf season. But the streamer isn't the only one putting a focus on the sport. Apple TV Plus has a new series set to star Owen Wilson as a washed-up golf pro who tries to mentor a 17-year-old phenom.

It's more than just TV shows and movies though, ESPN is also set to broadcast the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-backed TGL, a new golf exhibition league featuring many of the games best players on teams in indoor, match play events slated to start in January 2025.

As an avid fan of golf, both of watching it and attempting to play it (I definitely qualify among the legions of weekend hackers), all of this new content around golf has me incredible excited about golf’s future.

There's no secret to it, it's been a rough couple of years for golf. The creation of LIV and the exodus of many of professional golf’s most recognizable players to the upstart league has hurt the non-major PGA tour events. Then the rival leagues announced a planned merger, but a year later there has been no finalized plan. 

However, in large part because of the pandemic, golf has added many new players in recent years, as it was a way for them get outside, spend time with others and stay socially distant. The PGA Tour reported that in 2022, more Americans than ever had picked up the game.

Now our entertainment is starting to reflect that with these new series, and, in the case of Happy Gilmore, the return of a popular character after a nearly 20-year wait.

This can only continue to help the game of golf. The increased presence of the game in different entertainment areas will hopefully have even more people pick up a club. Instead of having to commit to watching four-hour tournaments that at first glance may seem boring (as a life-long golf fan I personally don't think so, but understand those who do), they can get it in episode or movie-length doses that highlight the best parts. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that many who watch these shows though begin to start to pay more attention to the PGA Tour, providing a boon to that league. As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats.

The last time we saw a surge of interest like this was when Tiger Woods burst onto the scene. You don't get a once in lifetime talent like Woods every day in the real world. But creating characters that viewers can relate to, admire and and have fun with can have similar effects. 

I'm hopeful that soon I'll be playing with someone who says they started playing golf after watching these TV shows and movies.

The second major of the 2024 golf season is here, as the PGA Championship 2024 officially tees off on Thursday, May 16. While we've laid out all the ways to watch the PGA Championship on TV, online and more, a specific way that you can watch both exclusive and live coverage of the tournament is through the ESPN Plus streaming service.

ESPN is splitting coverage duties for the PGA Championship with CBS, with the sports broadcaster offering full coverage for the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday, as well as early morning coverage on Saturday and Sunday. ESPN Plus is a big part of supporting that coverage, but it is going to go above and beyond that as well. Special previews for the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club are going to stream on Tuesday, May 14, and Wednesday, May 15, and the streamer will also have additional coverage on the weekends even as CBS takes over the primary coverage. In a nutshell, you'll be able to watch a lot of the PGA Championship just with what ESPN Plus offers.

So, if you've cut the cord from traditional TV but are still looking for how you can watch as much of the 2024 PGA Championship as possible, then here is what you need to know about how to get access to ESPN Plus to do just that.

How to watch the PGA Championship on ESPN Plus

ESPN Plus is a subscription-based streaming service, so you must be signed up in order to access it. Also, it is only available for those in the US; sorry golf fans who reside outside of the states.

As far as how to sign up for ESPN Plus, there are a number of options. The first is to sign up for ESPN Plus as a stand-alone service, which costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 when you commit to a full  year upfront; there is no ESPN Plus free trial at this time.

You can also get ESPN Plus with other streaming services. The sports streaming platform is currently included with all Hulu with Live TV subscriptions (starting at $76.99 per month). Another option is to bundle it with Disney Plus and Hulu with what is known as the Disney Bundle, which begins at $12.99 per month.

Once you are signed up for ESPN Plus, then its live PGA Championship coverage should be easy to find on the homepage or by searching for golf on the platform.

Read on to find out everything you need to know to watch the PGA Championship 2024.

How to watch the PGA Championship in the US

Official coverage of The PGA Championship is being split between CBS, ESPN and ESPN Plus.

CBS and ESPN are available with just about any traditional pay-TV provider and most live TV streaming services; they both are available on Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, but only ESPN is available on Sling TV. 

There are a couple of other ways that golf fans can watch CBS's coverage of the PGA Championship. The first is old school — a TV antenna that receives live local station signals, which as one of the four major broadcast networks, CBS provides for practically all markets. The other is on the Paramount Plus streaming service, though you must sign up for the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan to stream PGA Championship action live.

ESPN also has its own streaming service, ESPN Plus, that will help out with coverage of the PGA Championship. However, ESPN Plus is showing featured groups and not the official ESPN broadcast of the tournament. As far as signing up for ESPN Plus, it is available as a standalone service, as part of Hulu with Live TV or bundled for a single monthly fee with Disney Plus and Hulu via the Disney Bundle.

How to watch the PGA Championship in the UK

Sky Sports is the home of the PGA Tour in the UK, so we expect that will remain the case for the PGA Championship, however the coverage on Sky Sports Golf has not been confirmed at this time. Once the plans are clear we'll share them here.

To watch the PGA Championship on Sky, you must have a Sky TV subscription.

PGA Championship FAQs

The Masters on CBS is a tradition unlike any other (it's impossible not to read that with Jim Nantz's voice), but the tradition has adapted to today's media landscape, as CBS is not the only place you can watch the 2025 Masters. One of the ways to tune into golf's first major of the year is to be a Paramount Plus subscriber; though there are a few things about that you need to know.

First off, while the Paramount Plus streaming service has a global presence, its coverage of The Masters is only available to US subscribers. That's due to only Paramount Plus offering CBS and CBS Sports coverage, which are only available in the US; UK viewers will find The Masters playing on Sky Sports.

But if you are a US viewer looking for how to watch The Masters this week and are interested in Paramount Plus as an option, here is everything else you need to know on how to watch it on the streamer.

How to watch The Masters on Paramount Plus

In order to watch the live coverage of The Masters on Paramount Plus, you must sign up specifically for the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan. This subscription option is the more expensive of the two available Paramount Plus plans, costing $12.99 per month or $119.99 for a full year's subscription, but in addition to live Masters coverage, it is ad-free and includes additional exclusive TV shows and movies. Showtime programming like the new series MobLand, along with the normal lineup of Paramount Plus originals and library content are also available with the ad-free tier.

You can get a seven-day free trial of Paramount Plus with Showtime, allowing you to sample the service and catch the Masters for free before the service starts billing you (it will do so automatically if you do not cancel). Discount codes are also available occasionally.

The Masters on Paramount Plus schedule

Full live coverage of The Masters tournament rounds on Paramount Plus begins on Saturday, April 12, and Sunday, April 13 (ESPN and ESPN Plus have coverage of the tournament for Thursday and Friday). However, you can access some live coverage of select featured groups on Paramount Plus throughout the week, as well as featured parts of the golf course like Amen Corner (Holes 11, 12 & 13) and holes 15 & 16.

Here is the schedule of Paramount Plus coverage of The Masters:

Sunday, April 13

Golf's best players are taking on the sport's most iconic course at The Masters 2024, and golf fans are certainly not going to want to miss any of the action. The first of four majors on the golf calendar, there is going to be wall-to-wall coverage of the 2024 Masters, starting from Monday, April 8, with pre-tournament coverage, through the final hole and the winner slipping on the green jacket on Sunday, April 14. 

While we'll have to wait and see the play on the course to know who or what the biggest storylines are going to be, there is plenty to get excited about leading into the tournament. Rory McIlroy continues his quest to complete the career grand slam by checking a Masters win off his bucket list. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler looks to continue his hot streak and claim his second green jacket. A number of LIV competitors are back in the field this week proving they are still among the best in the world. And Tiger Woods is in line to play this week, and so how will he fare?

The best way to find out about all of these questions is to watch The Masters? But can you stream it, and if so where? And where is it available to watch on TV? We’ve got everything you need to know on how to watch it from wherever you are right here.

June 6, 2023, was the day that the golf world was shaken to its core when it was announced that the PGA Tour and the group behind LIV Golf were in talks to merge operations, and that's when Full Swing season 2 episode 2 picks up. The two leagues, which were seen as bitter rivals by nearly everyone, were now shaking hands and promising to work together to build the game of golf. However, nobody apparently gave the pro golfers most impacted by this a heads-up. 

Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Joel Dahmen and most notably, Rory McIlroy, were all shocked by the news, with Dahmen saying it was conducted in secrecy and there was no vote by any of the players — a notable thing considering the PGA Tour is supposed to be a player-run league. Meanwhile, many said the players that joined LIV made out like bandits, getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars and presumably now having a way to be welcomed back to the PGA Tour.

The fallout of the announcement shapes a lot of Full Swing season 2 episode 2, but we also get close looks at what's going on with popular players Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, including their performances at the 2023 US Open.

What's next? 

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan was the driving force behind the merger talks. He basically says the merger was inevitable and hopes he can rebuild trust with the players through actions, though he acknowledges they're probably not happy right now because he can't discuss the details of the merger just yet. Whatever he did tell them in a meeting with players post-announcement was not captured on camera.

Rory, again, says the news blindsided him and others, frustrated Monahan and the PGA helped galvanize people against LIV, only to partner with them. Other players shared their anger with the deal throughout the episode, including Tom Kim, who was skeptical when a PGA Tour player rep said he found out about the deal at the same time as the players.

The other big thing on a lot of people's minds is should the players who remained on the PGA, turning down massive contracts with LIV, be compensated as a result of this move? Rory said yes, while others like Matt Fitzpatrick didn't want to comment. Then there's Dustin Johnson, one of the biggest names that joined LIV, who gave a flat out "no."

Dustin Johnson's new life 

Johnson's reason for feeling no extra compensation is needed for those who stayed on the PGA? He believes he and the other guys who left for LIV took the risks and criticism (a montage of some of the harsh online comments flashes on the screen, along with Johnson’s wife Paulina talking about the experience), and it's too bad if the PGA players feel regret over not joining LIV when they could.

(Quick thing to note, despite the announcement coming almost a year ago, there still is no finalized deal on the merger, but talks are ongoing).

Johnson, meanwhile, had no regrets about joining LIV, as he and his wife believe it gave them greater control over their life. In addition, Johnson still is reaping the benefits of his success on the PGA Tour, participating in the majors that at this point in his career are the things that matter. That included the 2023 US Open.

Rickie Fowler's comeback 

The other main subject of the episode is Rickie Fowler. While he talked a bit about the merger (he acknowledges he could have joined LIV but thought the PGA Tour had the better competition and now sees the merger as just a chance to ensure the best players are playing in the biggest events), the main storyline was Fowler's attempt to return to the heights of his career.

Fowler burst onto the golfing scene in the early 2010s, and not just because he rocked bright orange attire in final rounds. He won the Players Championship and had a year in 2014 where he finished in the top five at every major. However, Fowler has never won a major and in recent years has seen his play drop, falling all the way to 185th in the world rankings. But reuniting with renowned coach Butch Harmon, Fowler was about to make some noise at the US Open.

Taking place at the Los Angeles Country Club, Fowler stormed out of the gate, shooting a US Open record 62 in the first round (Xander Schauffele also shot a 62 in the first round). When he followed that up with a strong second round, the crowd quickly got behind Fowler, as the always popular player looked poised to finally win his first major.

FYI, Johnson had himself a good tournament, but a few holes where he posted big numbers ultimately didn't allow him to really be in contention.

Going into the final hole of the third round, Fowler had a two-shot lead over Wyndham Clark and Rory McIlory. However, playing in near darkness contributed to Fowler scoring a bogey while Clark birdied, which eliminated Fowler's lead heading into the final round. Fowler and Rory would commiserate about playing in the dark conditions, but the tournament was still there for the taking for either of them.

Unfortunately for Fowler, the wheels came off in the final round. Watching from his home, Harmon said he could tell Fowler had nerves, saying the ability to overcome those only comes from being in those situations. Ultimately, Clark was able to separate himself and win his first-ever major championship (we'll learn more about him in a future episode).

While Rickie was disappointed in his final result, it's clear he's in a good place, as he said once he saw his young daughter he was able to let go of that disappointment a bit.

And he got another shot at it two weeks later at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. In a sudden-death playoff with two other golfers, Fowler hits a bad tee shot. However, he said his experience at the US Open helped him realize winning isn't about always being perfect, it's about being "good enough." And he was that day, hitting a fantastic second shot that allowed him to sink the winning putt, claiming his first victory in more than four years.

The best from Full Swing season 2 episode 2

Here are some of the other highlights from Full Swing season 2 episode 2:

• Love that Joel Dahmen was in a Waffle House when he found out about the PGA Tour/LIV merger announcement, completely different from everyone else shown in either their expensive homes or cars.
• Curious about the clip that had Rickie Fowler rapping? Here is the full music video that he made with fellow PGA Tour players at the time Ben Crane, Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson.
• The most interesting question posed in this episode came from Fowler: would there be the same negativity around LIV if it was backed by an Amazon or an Apple instead of the Saudi Public Investment Fund?

All of Full Swing season 2 is streaming exclusively on Netflix.

Covering the 2023 professional golf season, finding out who wins and who loses the biggest tournaments in Full Swing season 2 isn't going to be surprising. But what has proven to be the best thing about Full Swing is how it frames its storylines and offers never-before-seen footage of the golfers off the course. In that case, Full Swing season 2 episode 1 had a great premise showing the diverging situations of Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka.

Even if you didn't watch Full Swing season 1, the Netflix sports docuseries' catches you up with the biggest headline in the opening moments of season 2: the budding rivalry between the PGA Tour, the established premier golf league in the world, and LIV Golf, the controversial, Saudi-funded newcomer that offered nine-figure contracts and a less demanding schedule to attract some of the biggest names in the game. At the start of the 2023 golf season, LIV was entering its first full year and the question on many people's minds was what would happen next?

Even as Full Swing season 2 episode 1 covers the first two majors of the year, there's a feeling of dread throughout the episode that this is the calm before the storm.

Rory's crusade

Despite pulling big names like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith and Brooks Koepka (among others), Full Swing recounts that LIV wasn't exactly a powerhouse at the start of 2023. It had no substantial TV contact in the US, while the LIV guys were thought to be just taking the money and wouldn't be able to compete with the PGA Tour's best when they met up at majors.

Helping to lead that charge was Rory McIlroy, who became the defacto players' spokesperson for the PGA Tour, with fellow PGA Tour star Collin Morikawa going as far as calling him a "hero." But while Rory said that he wanted to "stand up" for what he believes the professional game should be and probably has the closest relationship among his peers with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, the role was not one he actively sought out and acknowledged it raised some challenges for his pursuits on the course.

Chief among those was winning his first major tournament (The Masters, the PGA Championship, the US Open and then Open Championship) since 2014.

The Masters

The first major of the year is always the Masters, always taking place Augusta National Golf Course, one of the most historic locations in golf. It's also the only major that Rory hasn't won in his career. If he does, he'd join a select club of players to win all four majors. This pursuit was one of the biggest storylines heading into the 2023 tournament, as was the curiosity of how LIV players in the field would perform, including Brooks Koepka.

Koepka was one of the main subjects of Full Swing season 1, where it showed that after various injuries he was struggling in his career, but was still one of the big names to join LIV. Returning to a field with PGA Tour players, Koepka believed he was as healthy as he'd been in a long time and ready to remind people he is one of the more dominant players in majors in recent years.

It would be a very different tournament for McIlroy and Koepka. McIlroy struggled in the first two rounds and wound up missing the cut (in a nice change from season 1, Full Swing doesn't feel the need to over explain what the cut is). Koepka, meanwhile, surged to the top of the leaderboard, eventually holding the outright lead heading into the final round. However, Kopeka stumbled and lost the lead and eventually the tournament to Jon Rahm, still a PGA Tour player at the time, though since the end of last season he joined LIV. But with Koepka's second-place finish and strong showings from other LIV golfers, the narrative changed and the idea that these guys were no longer among the best in the world was destroyed.

As one golf pundit put it, the question was no longer if a LIV player could win a major, it was when.

The PGA Championship

Rory and Koepka were again the big points of focus for the next major of the year, the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in New York. Defending PGA champ Justin Thomas commented before the tournament that there was a chippy relationship between the PGA and LIV guys, many of whom were present at a past PGA champions dinner before the tournament tees off.

But once again, LIV players played well, including Koepka, who after the third round was once again at the top of the leaderboard. Rory made the cut this time and was within striking distance, but he never got things rolling to be a legitimate threat to win, instead finishing in the top 10. Koepka, though, avoided a late collapse like he had at the Masters and ended up winning the tournament, his fifth major and the first major win by a LIV golfer since they left the PGA Tour. In a meta moment, a clip from the PGA Championship broadcast featured commentator Jim Nantz referencing Koepka's appearance in Full Swing season 1 as he walked up the final hole with the tournament secure.

Rory was candid that he isn't thrilled that another golfer of his era now had more majors than he does. In the locker room after his final round he talked with his coaches about needing a complete reboot to get him back to winning majors and called his struggles a "wake up call." Still, with all the reported animosity, Rory congratulated Kopeka when the two ran into each other in the parking lot after the tournament.

The bombshell

Two weeks after the PGA Championship, the news that shocked the golf world came out: the PGA Tour and those behind LIV Golf were planning a merger.

The reaction was one of complete and utter shock from golf journalists and the PGA Tour players, with the most common reaction being "what the f**k?", and others calling it a betrayal and a slap in the face. But what about Rory, who was the poster boy for the PGA and ally to Jay Monahan? He wonders why he just "wasted the last 12 months" of his life and career to defend the PGA when this was what would happen.

More fallout and reactions are coming in Full Swing season 2 episode 2.

The best from Full Swing season 2 episode 1

Here are some of the standout moments and people from Full Swing season 2 episode 1: 

• Claude Harmon III, Koepka's coach, was easily one of the most interesting subjects in the episode. He said he was "keeping receipts" about people's criticism of LIV golfers and added other memorable bites and defenses of Kopeka, who apparently opted not to sit down for one-on-one interviews with Full Swing this season.
• The shenanigans of Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler hitting golf balls at a porta potty while Adam Hadwin is in there shows the fun side of the players
• Joel Dahmen makes a quick but fun self-deprecating appearance in the episode
• We got a couple of quick clips of Tiger Woods from his time at the Masters and an event with Rory (what would it take to get Tiger on Full Swing I wonder?)
• Jake Paul, whose show Koepka appeared on, is definitely not a golfer.
• Rory's playlists for the car include golf podcasts, DJ Khaled and Encanto (for his daughter Poppy).

All episodes of Full Swing season 2 are now streaming exclusively on Netflix. Check our our best shows on Netflix guide for more series to enjoy.

Netflix is heading back to the links, as Full Swing season 2 tees off on Wednesday, March 6, exclusively on the streaming service. The behind-the-scenes look at the golfing world that not only appealed to die-hard golf fans but gave new viewers a fresh perspective of the game returns with eight episodes and 13 pro golfers at the center of the season, some of which return after previously appearing in Full Swing season 1. 

As the sport continued to go through a period of major changes in 2023, Full Swing was there to capture it and get the opinions of those most directly impacted. Among the things set to be discussed this season are the proposed PGA Tour deal with the backers of rival LIV Golf, and some exciting action at the year's biggest tournaments, including the bi-annual, intercontinental event that is the Ryder Cup.

Read about the subjects that are going to be central to the Full Swing season 2 drama right here (more golfers and individuals will be featured, but these are the stars of the season).

Keegan Bradley

At the age of 25, Keegan Bradley announced himself to the golfing world by winning the 2011 PGA Championship, one of golf's four major events. He would win his third career event in 2012 but then go six years without registering a PGA Tour win. But wins in 2022 and in 2023 got Bradley back in the mix for one of golf's highest honors, being named to a Ryder Cup team for the first time since 2014, as he battled it out with several other golfers to be among Team USA's captain's picks. 

Wyndham Clark

Another fresh face to the Full Swing cast in season 2, Wyndham Clark, was not very well known even among golf fans at the start of the 2023 season. But as he set out on his fifth PGA Tour season that would soon change with some impressive performances in some of the game's biggest events. Just how far would his star rise? 

Joel Dahmen

Joel Dahmen was one of the reasons that viewers fell in love with Full Swing, as his laid-back attitude and magical run at the 2022 US Open endeared golf fans to him. However, how does he — both personally and professionally — deal with his newfound fame from the Netflix series? And can he finally find firm footing on the PGA Tour?

Luke Donald

Luke Donald earned five PGA Tour victories over the course of his professional career, but 2023 saw what is perhaps his career highlight, as he was named the captain for Team Europe in the 2023 Ryder Cup. With the bi-annual tournament taking place in Europe (Italy, to be specific), the pressure is on Donald and his team of assembled players to take back the trophy from Team USA after they embarrassed Team Europe at the 2022 Ryder Cup. 

Alex Fitzpatrick

Full Swing viewers have seen Alex Fitzpatrick before, but that was part of the episode spotlighting his older brother Matt Fitzpatrick's victory at the 2022 US Open. But Alex is a pro golfer himself, though he currently does not have a PGA Tour card. As his brother continues to reach the biggest stages of the game, how is Alex's career progressing? 

Matt Fitzpatrick

Speaking of Matt Fitzpatrick, he is once again going to be among the featured golfers in Full Swing season 2. There are raised expectations for the golfer following his US Open victory, including being a key piece and leader of Team Europe in the Ryder Cup, as he makes the team for a third time despite just being 29 years old. 

Rickie Fowler

Rickie Fowler has been one of the more popular players on the PGA Tour for years, instantly recognizable for often wearing orange on Sundays in honor of his alma mater, Oklahoma State. But Fowler had been through a few tough years entering the 2023 PGA Tour season, including not winning an event since 2019 and dropping heavily in the rankings. Could he get his game back to a place where he could not only be a factor on Sundays but earn a long-awaited win? 

Dustin Johnson

Whether or not many golfers would be leaving the PGA Tour for the new LIV Golf tour was one of the biggest questions at the center of Full Swing season 1. A key figure in that discussion was Dustin Johnson, a former world No. 1 golfer and major champion winner. Johnson has been one of the most successful golfers on LIV since he joined, so how did he feel about the news that LIV and the PGA Tour are working to become partners after their bitter rivalry the year before?

Zach Johnson

From 2007 to 2015, Zach Johnson was among the more consistent golfers in the world. He had 83 top-10 finishes, 42 top-5 finishes and 11 wins in that span, including two major championships at the Masters and the Open Championship (at St. Andrews no less). But in 2023, Johnson took on the next challenge of his career, being the captain for Team USA at the Ryder Cup, trying to do something that no US team has done since 1993 — win in Europe. 

Tom Kim

Tom Kim joined the PGA Tour in 2022, the first year that Full Swing covered the sport. Kim, however, did not make an appearance, but he was certainly making a name for himself on the tour, as he won two events in 2022 and quickly became one of the biggest young names in golf. How does he handle his quick success, including his first chance to defend his wins from the previous season? 

Rory McIlroy

When it came to the counterargument for LIV both in Full Swing season 1 and in general, Rory McIlroy led the charge. One of the best golfers in the world, he vehemently defended the PGA Tour and sought ways to make it better and keep the game's best from leaving for their new competitor. So how does he feel now that the PGA Tour and those behind LIV are working together? And beyond the politics, can Rory snap his major drought and help Team Europe reclaim the Ryder Cup?

Justin Rose

After more than 20 years on the PGA Tour, Justin Rose remains one of the best golfers in the world, even if his best results are a bit fewer and farther between. But he was in the thick of the race to be among Team Europe's captains for the Ryder Cup, where his skill and leadership could help a young team trying to defend their home turf. But can he make the squad?

Justin Thomas

One of the stars of Full Swing season 1, Justin Thomas' comeback win at the PGA Championship was among the highlights of the season. Thomas' 2023 season, however, is going to show fans how fickle the game can be, as he deals with struggles that not only impact his weekly performance in PGA Tour events, but also risk keeping him off the USA's Ryder Cup team. 

Full Swing season 2 is available to stream exclusively on Netflix starting March 6. A Netflix subscription is required to watch.

One of the must-watch golf events of the year returns when The Match 2024 tees off on Monday, February 26, with the charity event swinging back to the Park City Municipal Golf Course in Florida for more nine-iron antics.

The Match, which has taken place at least once a year since 2020, typically pairs up various sports stars, with the eighth and most recent iteration putting together Golden States Warriors teammates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson against the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The ninth edition is going to be all professional golfers, but with four teams instead of two, and with some of the LPGA's best players for the first time.

Max Homa, Lexi Thompson, Rory McIlroy and Rose Zhang face off in this putt-le royale over 12 holes, in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for their chosen charity.

Plus, expect entertaining analyst commentary, banter on and off the green and lots of extra competition; this should be one fun watch. So let's work out how to watch The Match 2024, whether you want to do so online or on TV.

How to watch The Match 2024 in the US

The Match 2024 begins at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT  on Monday, February 26, with several different ways you can watch it.

If you want to watch The Match 2024 via an online streaming service, you've got one main port of call: Max, with the HBO streaming service hosting the event via its B/R Sports Add-On.

Max costs $9.99 per month for its ad-supported plan or $15.99 monthly for its ad-free one. The sports add-on usually costs an extra $9.99 each month, however you're in luck, as there's currently a free trial running for the expansion, so you can test it out for no additional fee.

You can also watch The Match on TV because TNT is airing the event, with simulcasts also playing on truTV and HLN. If your cable plan offers any of these channels, you're in luck. If not, you can use Max, or a live TV streaming service to stream the channels online.

The cheapest TV streamer you can use is Sling TV, with its $40-per-month Blue plan having all three (its same-priced Orange plan has TNT). You can also opt for Hulu with Live TV, for $76.99 per month, or YouTube TV at $72.99 each month.

How to watch The Match 2024 in the UK

At the time of writing, no UK air information for The Match 2024 has been confirmed, but it'll very likely come to Discovery Plus.

We say this because previous versions of The Match have been live-streamed on the streaming service, which carries lots of sports from TNT Sport. The streamer's upcoming event calendar doesn't currently include The Match 2024, but it only usually includes the next two to three days of events.

When streaming or TV information for The Match 2024 becomes available, we'll update this guide.

How to watch The Match 2024 everywhere else

If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch The Match, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). 

A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your favorite sports, shows or other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.

The Match has become an annual fixture on golf fan's calendars, alongside the biggest PGA Tour tournaments and the four major golf tournaments. 2024 is not going to be breaking that tradition, as details for The Match 2024 have been announced, with this year's marking a first for the event: a singles event made up of four of the best men and women's golfers in the world.

What has made The Match (or, as it is officially known, Capital One's The Match) such a fun event since its inception in the early days of the pandemic is it takes golfers closer to the action than ever before with the golfers mic'd up, features fantastic commentary, including Charles Barkley ribbing the participants (and them back to him) and a general sense of fun as the big winner are the charities that The Match raises money for. 

After a few years of bringing in athletes in from other sports to take part in the friendly competition, The Match 2024 is turning back to the pros, as two of the top golfers on the PGA Tour and two from the LPGA Tour are squaring off in a prime-time showcase.

We've got everything that you need to know about The Match 2024 right here.

The Match 2024 date

The Match 2024 is set to take place on Monday, February 26, at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT.

The Match 2023 channel

The Match is going to air on TNT in the US, with simulcasts on truTV and HLN, as well as a live stream on Max. 

If you're interested in additional supporting content, the Bleacher Report app has expansive coverage plans leading up to and during The Match.

Right now we don't have definitive info on where The Match 2024 is going to be available to watch in the UK, but past iterations have been available on Discovery Plus.

The Match 2024 golfers

The golf pros are back headlining The Match 2024, as Max Homa, Rory McIlroy, Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang are participating in this year's event.

Max Homa has been a rising player on the PGA Tour over the last few years. He has won six times on the PGA Tour, including twice in 2023, and was a part of the US Ryder Cup team in 2023. Per the official World Golf Ranking (WGR), Homa is the seventh ranked player in the world.

McIlroy is one of the best and most recognizable golfers in the world. He is a four-time major winner and 38 total wins in his career, including most recently the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January. Currently, McIlroy is the second best player in the world, according to the WGR. Even casual golf fans know McIlroy, if nothing else than from his prominent role in Full Swing season 1 (and likely soon Full Swing season 2).

Lexi Thompson has long been a standout on the LPGA Tour, having earned 11 tournament wins in her career, including one major title. She's also competed in six Solheim Cups, which is the women's golf equivalent to the Ryder Cup. Thompson also has participated in PGA Tour events, becoming the seventh woman to play on the tour when she competed at the Shriners Children's Open in October 2023; unfortunately she did not make the cut at the tournament.

Rounding things out is Rose Zhang. After a historic amateur career that saw her win two NCAA Women's Golf Championships, back-to-back ANNIKA Awards (given to the top women college golfer), the 2023 Augusta National Women's Amateur, spent 141 weeks as the top-ranked amateur player in the world and broke Tiger Woods' record at Stanford for most wins in school history, Zhang turned pro in May 2023. She then won her first professional tournament in June.

Charles Barkley commentary

One consistent presence at The Match has been NBA and broadcasting legend Charles Barkley providing commentary. Barkley is an avid golf fan and infamously bad golfer. In fact, one version of The Match paired him and Phil Mickelson against Peyton Manning and Seth Curry; Manning and Curry were actually favored over pro golfer Mickelson because of Barkley's reputation, but Sir Charles and Lefty won.

Barkley is set to return as a commentator for The Match, alongside his Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson, who serves as host, Masters champion Trevor Immelman as an analyst, Kathryn Tappen as the course reporter and, making her debut on The Match, three-time LPGA Tour winner and golfing personality Christina Kim.

In addition, Grammy-winner DJ Khaled and NHL on TNT personality Paul Bissonnette are going to be a part of the broadcast, following the players on the course.

How to watch The Match 2024

TNT is the traditional TV home for The Match 2024, though you can also see the event simulcasted on truTV and HLN. This means that your viewing options include traditional pay-TV services that carry TNT, truTV and HLN or live TV streaming services that feature the cable network as part of their channel lineup, which includes Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

For the first time, the Max streaming service is also going to live stream the event. The event is taking place while Max is still offering its free trial its B/R Sports Add-On, which means all Max subscribers can stream this and other sporting events at no extra cost. That free-trial ends on February 29, at which point having the ability to stream live sports on Max is going to cost an additional $9.99 per month.

If you’re looking for some additional coverage, the sports app Bleacher Report is going to have extensive coverage leading up to The Match 2024 on its platform. All you need to access that is download the Bleacher Report app.

Where is The Match 2024?

The Match 2024 is being played at The Park golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla.

The Park opened in April 2023, reimagined from the former West Palm Beach Country Club. Designed by Gil Hanse, the course is dedicated to youth programs and community outreach to promote the game for golfers of all skill levels.

With The Match taking place in Florida in February and a start time of 6:30 pm ET, that means it will take place mostly under the lights. This is the second time The Match has played night golf, following Jordan Spieth/Justin Thomas vs Tiger Woods/Rory McIlroy in 2022.

The Match 2024 format

The Match has traditionally been a team event, but for the first time The Match 2024 is going to be a mixed skins format that sees the players competing as individuals.

Each hole throughout the 12-hole event will be worth a specified amount for charity. Whichever golfer scores the best on a given hole will that hole. The winner of the event will be based on who won the most money for charity over the course of the four holes.

All four golfers will use the same tees for the four par 3s featured in the event. The other eight holes (par 4s and 5s) will see them using varying tee boxes and yardages for the men and women.

Here are the amounts that each hole will be worth during the match:

• Holes 1-4: $100,000 each
• Holes 5-8: $150,000 each
• Holes 9-11: $200,000 each
• Hole 12: $500,000

And here are the special challenges that the golfers will participate in to raise more money for charity:

• Hole 3: PODS Closest to the Hole
• Hole 5: DraftKings Sportsbook Closest to the Hole
• Hole 8: Kohl's Closest to the Hole
• Hole 11: Golf Digest Closest to the Hole

The Match charity

The Match's primary goal besides entertainment is to raise funds for charity. For The Match 2024, the charity that they are supporting is First Tee.

First Tee is a youth organization with the mission to help make golf affordable and accessible to all kids, while also providing them with other opportunities and resources for a successful life.

Over its history, Capital One's The Match says that is has raised more than $38 million for various charities.

The Match winners

Here are the winners (in bold) of the previous editions of The Match:

• Match 1: Tiger vs Phil  — Phil Mickelson
• Match 2: Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning vs Phil Mickelson/Tom Brady — Woods/Manning
• Match 3: Phil Mickleson/Charles Barkley vs Steph Curry/Peyton Manning — Mickelson/Barkley

The Hero World Challenge is usually one of the marquee events of the golf offseason, but that is especially true in 2023, as the annual tournament is going to see Tiger Woods playing in a professional tournament for the first time since the 2023 Masters.

Woods and his TGR Foundation established the Hero World Challenge in 2000 as a way to support the foundation's efforts. Those include empowering students to pursue their passions through education, particular youths from under-resourced communities.

The entire Hero World Challenge field only consists of 20 players, as this is an invitational tournament. But of those 20 players, six of the top 10-ranked golfers in the world are participating, and 16 of the top 25.

The tournament takes place from Thursday, November 30, to Sunday, December 3. Here is how you can watch the Hero World Challenge 2023 either on TV or streaming online.

Hero World Challenge FAQs

It's time to head back onto the golf course with some of the best players in the game, as Full Swing season 2 has arrived on Netflix.

Expect plenty more of that with Full Swing season 2.

Full Swing is just one example of the sports docuseries being a hit format for Netflix. While this show covers golf, the streamer has Drive to Survive for Formula 1, Break Point for tennis, Tour de France: Unchained for cycling and Quarterback for the NFL.

Full Swing season 2 premise

The overall premise for Full Swing is not changing after its first season. The docuseries follows some of the world's top professional golfers both at home and on the course, including them at some of the biggest tournaments in the world, like the four majors (The Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, Open Championship).

But as the game continues to change, Full Swing is there to capture it. Here is the description of what to expect this season from Netflix:

"In the upcoming episodes, though, the drama reaches new heights following an unexpected proposed agreement between the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, backers of LIV golf. Full Swing also follows golfers to the biennial Ryder Cup, which includes the best players across the US and Europe. In addition to documenting their failures and wins on the course, the series digs deeper into the personal lives of some of the most talented golfers in the game — their families, rivalries and more."

Full Swing season 2 trailer

The official Full Swing season 2 trailer is finally here, previewing some of the biggest storylines of the year, including the PGA Tour/LIV Golf deal and the 2023 Ryder Cup, plus plenty more drama. Watch it directly below:

Also, Netflix released a sneak peek of the new season, which you can watch below. It features season 1 breakout Joel Dahmen and his caddie Geno Bonnalie talking about the effect their newfound fame has had on them. 

Netflix is ramping up its sports offerings, with the streamer hosting its first-ever live sporting event, The Netflix Cup. The big event is taking place on Tuesday, November 14, but at what time is The Netflix Cup getting underway?

Pairing up professional PGA Tour golfers and Formula 1 drivers for a nine-hole match at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, sports fans/Netflix subscribers can watch The Netflix Cup starting at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT (11 pm UK) on November 14. The event should be easy to find on the Netflix home page once it is live, but you can also find a direct link to the live stream from The Netflix Cup event page on Netflix Tudum.

Of course, if you want to watch The Netflix Cup, you are going to need to have a Netflix subscription.

Netflix has been building its sports library for a while now, mostly with docuseries that provide full access to events and individual athletes like Quarterback, Break Point, Tour de France: Unchained, Drive to Survive and Full Swing. It's the last two series that are teaming up for The Netflix Cup.

Four F1 drivers and four PGA pros are teaming up to compete in the event: Lando Norris & Rickie Fowler, Carlos Sainz & Justin Thomas, Alex Albon & Max Homa and Pierre Gasly & Collin Morikawa. 

The event starts with two matches — Norris/Fowler vs Sainz/Thomas and Albon/Homa vs Gasly/Morrikawa. Using a scramble format (where each player hits a shot and picks the best one to play until they put the ball in the hole), each initial match will last eight holes. The winning teams in those matches will then play the deciding ninth hole, with the winning team of that hole then declared the first-ever Netflix Cup champion.

In addition to the golf action, The Netflix Cup is going to feature commentary by sportscaster Kay Adams, PGA golfer and Full Swing breakout Joel Dahmen, comedian Brett Kreischer and former NFL player Marshawn Lynch.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because it should. The Netflix Cup is the streamer adding its own spin to the format of The Match, which has been a popular golfing event that has seen pro athletes (golfers and those from other sports) play for charity.

Again, a Netflix subscription is necessary to watch The Netflix Cup. So if you're looking to add one in order to watch, you have a number of options to choose from, including an ad-supported tier that starts as low as $6.99 per month or an ad-free premium tier that costs $22.99 per month.

Netflix is officially getting into the live sports arena with its own special event, what it has dubbed as The Netflix Cup. The event is going to be a golf tournament that features athletes from two of Netflix's most popular sports series, Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Full Swing.

The popular streaming service has been building out its sports repertoire with docuseries like Drive to Survive, Full Swing, Quarterback, Break Point, Tour de France: Unchained and more, but this is going to be the first time that Netflix is ever going to stream a live sporting event.

It's not the first live stream for Netflix, however, as they previously offered the Chris Rock stand up comedy special Selective Outrage as a live streaming event. The streamer has more plans for live streaming events in the near future, as the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards are set to stream live exclusively on Netflix.

But we're focusing on The Netflix Cup here. Let's get into everything you need to know about the live sport event, from when it is to who's in it and what format the golf tournament is.

The Netflix Cup date

The Netflix Cup is taking place on Tuesday, November 14, at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT. 

The special event serves as the kickoff to the Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix, the first-ever F1 race taking place in Las Vegas, which is set for Saturday, November 18.

The Netflix Cup players

The event teams F1 drivers that were featured in Drive to Survive with professional PGA Tour golfers that appeared in Full Swing to make up The Netflix Cup field. Here's who is competing in the event: 

• Alex Albon (F1)
• Rickie Fowler (PGA)
• Pierre Gasly (F1)
• Max Homa (PGA)
• Collin Morikawa (PGA)
• Lando Norris (F1)
• Carlos Sainz (F1)
• Justin Thomas (PGA)

Here are the official pairings for the match:

• Max Homa & Alex Albon
• Rickie Fowler & Lando Norris
• Collin Morikawa & Pierre Gasly
• Justin Thomas & Carlos Sainz

Check out this fun little announcement video that Netflix shared about the teams:

The Netflix Cup location

Las Vegas is serving as the home of the first Netflix Cup, with the specific golf course that the athletes will be playing is the Wynn Golf Club at Wynn Las Vegas.

The 18-hole course has hosted special events like this before, including two editions of The Match, the special golf tournament that Turner Sports produces, in 2023 and 2021.

The Netflix Cup format

The Netflix Cup will feature the four teams competing in an eight-hole match. After the eight holes, the top two teams will advance to the ninth and final hole, with the team winning the final hole earning The Netflix Cup title.

Each match will be a scramble. What that means is each player on a team is going to tee off on each hole. They will then select one of their drives and both hit shots from that spot, repeating the process until they get the ball into the hole. The team with the lowest score wins the hole.

Here are the team matchups for the first eight holes:

Match 1: Rickie Fowlers & Lando Norris vs Justin Thomas & Carlos Sainz
Match 2: Max Homa & Alex Albon vs Collin Morikawa & Pierre Gasly

The Netflix Cup commentators

There are some stars off the course as well that will help commentate on the event. Sportscaster Kay Adams will host the proceedings, with PGA Tour player and Full Swing breakout Joel Dahmen, comedian Bert Kreischer and former NFL star turned media personality Marshawn Lynch adding to it all.

The Netflix Cup trailer

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for the live event that you can watch right here:

How to watch The Netflix Cup

The Netflix Cup will stream live exclusively on Netflix on November 14, so you need to have a Netflix plan in order to be able to watch the event. The event should pop up on the Netflix homepage when it is live for easy access, but interested viewers can also find a direct link on Netflix Tudum when the time comes.  

It is unclear at this time if Netflix is going to have The Netflix Cup available to stream on-demand after its conclusion.

If you are interested in attempting to attend The Netflix Cup in person, you can request to buy tickets here.

Ryder Cup 2023 captains

Each Ryder Cup team has a captain that in addition to filling out the team of 12 is responsible for arranging who plays with who and against who during the tournament.

For Team USA the captain is Zach Johnson. Johnson is a two-time major winner (the 2007 Masters and 2015 Open Championship) and previously played in five Ryder Cups, with an 8-6-2 record overall during those events. He previously served as a vice-captain for the team at the last two Ryder Cups.

Luke Donald is set to be Team Europe's captain. Luke Donald was a five-time winner on the PGA Tour and participated in the Ryder Cup four times throughout his career; Team Europe won all four years that Donald was part of the team. Can he keep the streak going now that he's a captain?

There are also a number of vice captains for each team. Team USA's announced vice captains include Steve Stricker, Davis Love III, Jim Furyk and Fred Couples; one more is expected to be announced. Team Europe's vice-captains are Thomas Bjorn, Edoardo Molinari and Nicolas Colsaerts.

Ryder Cup format

There are three days of Ryder Cup competition that determines who wins the event, with three variations of match play used for the tournament:

Four-ball: each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, with the lowest score of the hole for each team counting as the team’s official score. The team who has the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the two teams have the same score, then the hole is halved.

Foursomes: each two-man team plays one ball per hole, with the players taking turns until each hole is complete. Players alternate hitting tee shots. The team with the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the two teams have the same score, then the hole is halved.

Singles: every player from each team competes in 12 head-to-head matches. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins that hole. If the players have the same score, then the hole is halved. Thing to note, players can concede a hole to their opponent, meaning they let their opponent pick up their ball without putting it in the hole, giving them the score they would have made had the next stroke gone in the hole (i.e., if a player had a tap-in putt for birdie, the opponent conceding that would mean the player earns the birdie automatically).

Friday and Saturday during the Ryder Cup will consist of four matches of four-ball and four matches of foursomes each day, while Sunday will see 12 singles matches taking place. 

For match scoring, winning a hole gives a player/team one point, halving a hole means no one gets any points. Here’s a quick breakdown of how tallying points would work:

• Each match begins "all squared"
• If Team USA won the first hole, they would be up one in the match
• If Team Europe won the second hole, the match would then be all squared again
• If the team leading wins another hole before their opponent does, they increase their lead (two up, three up, etc.). Any hole won by the opponent decreases their lead
• If a hole is halved, the match remains at whatever score it was when the hole started

Whoever is leading the match after 18 holes wins the entire match and earns a point for their team. If a match is tied after 18 holes, then each team gets half a point. Matches can end before 18 holes if it is not mathematically possible for the other team to get the match back to all square at the conclusion of the 18th hole (for example, Team USA is up four holes with three to play).

There are 28 matches in total as part of the Ryder Cup. For Team Europe to win the Ryder Cup in 2023, they must earn at least 14 ½ points from all those matches. As the defending champion, Team USA can retain the cup if they earn at least 14 ½ points or if the event ends in a 14-14 tie.

Both networks' streaming plaltforms are also going to be key parts of the broadcast.

ESPN is a cable network, meaning you absolutely need a subscription to either a traditional pay-TV cable service or a live TV streaming service that carries it to watch on your TV.

CBS, meanwhile, is also available through traditional pay-TV options and live TV streaming services (FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV), but it is also available for those just using a TV antenna, as local station signals can be picked up by those devices.

ESPN's streaming service, ESPN Plus, is providing additional supporting coverage, including following featured pairings. Those interested can sign up for ESPN Plus as a standalone service, as a feature of Hulu with Live TV or packaged with Disney Plus and Hulu via the Disney Bundle.

Paramount Plus, the streaming service associated with CBS, is also getting in on the action, live streaming CBS's coverage of the tournament to subscribers.

The Masters 2023 FAQs

If you're keen to watch the golf, whether online or using your TV, this guide will make streaming or watching the Arnold Palmer Invitational online or on TV very simple. 

This is a busy weekend for sports fans, with the Puerto Rico Open taking place at the same time, and between that alternative PGA Tour event and this Invitational there's plenty of golf to go around. Plus, it's the first F1 Grand Prix of the year, men's college basketball conference tournaments and spring training.

So without further ado, here's how to watch the Arnold Palmer Invitational:

How to watch the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the US

You'll find yourself tripping over different ways to watch the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the US, because like most PGA Tour events, coverage is on plenty of different platforms.

In terms of cable coverage, both The Golf Channel and CBS are showing parts of the tournament, so by utilizing both you can catch the whole tournament. If you don't have a cable plan, then plenty of the best live TV streaming services offer them: YouTube TV ($64.99 per month), Hulu with Live TV ($69.99 per month) and FuboTV ($74.99 per month) carry both channels.

How to watch the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the UK

What you need to know

After causing a stir in the golf world with its inaugural season in 2022, LIV Golf is back for its 2023 season, which features more tournaments and, for the first time, a US TV network airing the tournament.

While the Saudi-backed LIV Golf has the stated mission of helping to grow the game with new audiences, billing itself as "golf, but louder," it is seen as a potential rival for the PGA Tour. That was covered a good bit in the Netflix reality series Full Swing.

But, aside from all the noise off the course, many golf fans just want to enjoy seeing some of the biggest names in the game compete. Here's everything you need to know about how to do that with this LIV Golf season.

How to watch LIV Golf

Watch LIV Golf in the US

LIV Golf is taking a big step this season, as it has landed a US TV deal to air its tournaments on The CW. Last season, LIV Golf was only available to stream online.

All three days of LIV Golf tournaments, including exclusively on Fridays, are available to watch on The CW app, which is available for free with no login. Then, Saturday and Sunday rounds are available to watch on traditional TV on The CW. Most traditional pay-TV providers include The CW as part of their channel lineup, as do live streaming TV services like FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV.

Cut the cord entirely? DAZN is the streaming home for LIV Golf. This is actually still the easiest way for many golf fans outside of the US to watch LIV Golf tournaments.

Watch LIV Golf in the UK

There is no specific TV home for LIV Golf in the UK at this time, but golf fans can still watch it by subscribing to DAZN. The sports streaming service carries all three rounds of the tournament for UK subsccribers.

Watch LIV Golf from anywhere

If you're keen to watch LIV Golf but you're somewhere the broadcasts aren't easily available, a potential solution to this issue is with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). 

A VPN lets you change your IP address, enabling you to watch sporting events like LIV Golf and other shows and events that matter to you from other locations. Our favorite is ExpressVPN(opens in new tab), which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.

LIV Golf format

While LIV Golf is seen as a rival of the PGA Tour, the two professional golf leagues are not exactly the same. There are a few unique things about the LIV Golf format that are handy to know if you are checking it out for the first time.

First, a LIV Golf tournament only consists of three days, instead of the usual four of a PGA Tour event. Over those three days, the players play 54 holes, one round (18 holes) a day.

Rather than staggered tee times throughout the day, LIV Golf features a shotgun start, meaning that all players go off at the same time on different holes.

There are also two ways to win a LIV Golf tournament. The first is the same as the PGA Tour, where a single player wins based on having the lowest cumulative score across all three rounds. However, there is also a team aspect to it. 

All 48 players are divided into 12 teams of four. Team scores are generated by combining the scores of players in each round. The team with the lowest cumulative score wins.

The other big difference is that there are not cuts in LIV Golf; all 48 players play all the entire tournament. 

LIV Golf FAQs

One of the best ways to remember something is repetition, but the Netflix docuseries Full Swing may have taken that strategy a bit too far. As many of the show's fans have pointed out on social media, things are getting out of hand with one idea in particular — the cut.

Full Swing comes from the same team that made Formula 1: Drive to Survive, and it basically is the golf version of that show. Fourteen professional golfers make up the Full Swing cast, who we follow both on and off the course to see what it's like for some of the game's best players, from those struggling with their game to fresh faces on the tour looking to make a name for themselves, during the 2022 PGA Tour season.

It's a fun series for golf fans to get rare access to the behind-the-scenes elements they don't get to see on weekly golf broadcasts. But the docuseries also wants to give those who may be new to golf a crash course in some of its basic components. This includes some of the scoring, the importance of the majors to all the players, why the emergence of LIV Golf was such a big thing and how the PGA Tour is different from the Saudi-backed startup league.

This is where the explanation of the cut comes in… over and over again. Full Swing explains very early on that in just about every PGA tournament, after the first two days, the top 65 to 70 players (and ties) get to move on in play in the final two rounds over the weekend. If you don't make it into that group, however, you don't get paid at all for the tournament.

The team behind Full Swing clearly wanted to make that an emphasis to add to the tension as we watch these players compete week in and week out to make sure they get to the weekend, as well as paint a clear picture between the PGA Tour and LIV, the latter of which does not have a cut. But the show continues to bring up the cut in almost every episode, often talking about it like it is the first time they're mentioning it.

As fans have been bingeing the show (it has been in the top five of most-watched Netflix shows in the US since its release), they can't help themselves but poke fun at this fact. We've rounded up some of our favorite social media reactions about it below.

Full Swing fans react to the constant mentioning of "the cut":

All eight episodes of Full Swing are now available to watch on Netflix. 

Golf fans around the world are preparing for The Genesis Invitational, taking place between February 16 and 19. This PGA Tour event is set to feature legendary golfer Tiger Woods as well as many other top players.

This is Woods' first tournament in seven months, as he looks to compete with current top players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.

The Genesis Invitational takes place at Riviera Country Club, just outside Los Angeles. Since 1926 it's been hosted in 11 different clubs and gone through many different names too, most popularly the Los Angeles Open.

The tournament has a purse of $20 million, the biggest so far this year, making the tournament a big draw to all the best golfers around.

Here's everything you need to know on how to watch the Genesis Invitational online from around the world, so you won't miss a drive or putt wherever you are.

How to watch The Genesis Invitational in the US

You're spoiled for choice when it comes to watching The Genesis Invitational, whether you want to do so on TV or using an app.

ESPN Plus ($9.99 per month) is hosting exclusive coverage while Peacock ($4.99 per month) is hosting The Golf Channel coverage and Paramount Plus ($4.99 per month) offers CBS broadcasts.

For cable (or live TV streaming service) options, you've again got plenty of choices. Round 1 and round 2 coverage airs on The Golf Channel.  For round 3 and round 4 over the weekend, early morning coverage is on The Golf Channel but it jumps to CBS in the afternoon (there's a full schedule here).

Many live TV streaming services offer both of these channels. YouTube TV ($64.99 per month), Hulu with Live TV ($69.99 per month) and FuboTV ($74.99 per month) carry both channels.

How to watch The Genesis Invitational in the UK

To watch The Genesis Invitational in the UK, you need one subscription service: Sky Sports.

The channel Sky Sports Golf is showing lots of PGA Tour coverage, interspersed with highlights of other PGA Tour events.

The Sky Sports package costs £27 per month if you already have a £29-per-month Sky TV subscription (those prices drop to £25 and £26 if you opt for an 18-month rolling contract). You can see bundles here, but we should point out that right now there's a Sky TV free one-month trial rolling, which could help cut the cost somewhat.
