Last year, Xander Schauffele took home his first major title with a win at the PGA; he would add to that a few months later with an Open Championship title. Can he win three of the last five majors with a successful defense this year? That will be one of the big questions this week, but there are plenty more storylines to keep an eye on.
With the pressure off, can McIlroy continue to add to his major total? After claiming his first victory of the year a couple of weeks ago, can Scottie Scheffler snag his first major of the year (and his first non-Masters major)? How will the LIV players, including Bryson DeChambeau, peform? Like Schauffele last year, will someone claim their first major this week?
To find out, watch the 2025 PGA Championship this week. Read on below for all the details you need to do so.
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.
You can also stream the 2025 PGA Championship, with CBS and ESPN offering live streams of the tournament. For CBS, its live weekend coverage is going to be available via Paramount Plus, though you must be signed up for the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier as that allows you to stream CBS's live coverage.
ESPN Plus will be the home of the main broadcast in the mornings, but once ESPN takes over in the afternoon the streamer will continue to offer special looks at featured groups throughout 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.

Sky Sports is the home of the PGA Tour in the UK, and that will remain the case for the PGA Championship.
