How to watch PGA Championship 2025: live stream golf online, TV channel
Will we see another Grand Slam completed at Quail Hollow?

The PGA Championship, the second men’s golf Major of the season, typically features what many consider the season’s strongest field. All those in the top 100 of the world rankings qualify to play. LIV Golf also has 16 representatives in the 156-man field. You can watch PGA Championship 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
The PGA Championship is live from Quail Hollow starting Thursday May 15. Final round on Sunday, May 18
• U.S. — ESPN via Sling (Rounds 1 & 2), CBS/Paramount+ (Rounds 3&4)
• U.K. — Sky Sports
• AUS — Kayo Sports (7-day FREE trial)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 30-day trial.
Rory McIlroy heads into this week as the man to beat. Not only is he in prime form, with three wins already this season, including at the only Major so far, but he also has a winning record around the course.
Quail Hollow, the venue for this year’s PGA Championship, has been the regular host for the Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy has won this four times. The only other man with multiple wins in this event is Max Homa, with two.
McIlroy became only the sixth man to win all four modern Majors when he won the Masters a few weeks ago. This ended his wait of 11 years to add the final part of his Grand Slam. Another who has long been one title short of a Grand Slam is Jordan Spieth – and the missing Major in his case is the PGA Championship.
Spieth has been within one title of a Grand Slam since winning The Open Championship in 2017. Will this week see him also compete a Grand Slam? It looks unlikely, as he has not won on Tour since April 2022, but far stranger things have happened.

Watch PGA Championship 2025 live streams from anywhere
The 2025 PGA Championship live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
You can still watch the PGA Tour thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software enables your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it is ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 7,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.
3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home.
