ESPN+ to carry PGA Tour Live on Thursdays, Fridays only at fall 2023 U.S. events

The FedEx Cup Fall is a unique one-off of seven tournaments, as the PGA Tour transitions from the wrap-around schedule to a return to a calendar-based format, with the 2024 campaign starting in January.

Of the seven events, four of them will be staged in the U.S.

That means for you live streamers and cord-cutters out there, your viewing options are being altered just a tad, as the streaming coverage of PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will only be on Thursdays and Fridays.

ESPN+ is the exclusive home of PGA Tour Live, and Front Office Sports reports that it’s the most watched content on the streaming platform. But while ESPN+ generally has its four-channel experiences for all four days of PGA Tour stops, it’ll only have the first and second rounds of those U.S.-based tournaments.
