There is no single streaming subscription that carries all golf. The right choice depends first on your country and the tournament or tour you want to watch: PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN focuses on PGA TOUR coverage in the U.S., Peacock carries a mix of U.S. events, and NOW provides access to Sky Sports golf in the UK. Check the event listing and the plan required before subscribing.

What PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN offers in the U.S.
PGA TOUR LIVE is the most feed-focused option in this comparison for viewers seeking extended PGA TOUR coverage. For the 2026 season, the tour describes more than 3,200 additional live streaming hours over 35 tournaments. At least 28 events are slated for four full days and four simultaneous feeds per day; ESPN’s golf page describes those feeds as Main Feed, Featured Groups, Marquee Group, and Featured Holes across 35+ tournaments. These are official service descriptions, not independent industry measurements. See the PGA TOUR’s coverage details and ESPN’s golf page.
ESPN says qualifying subscribers can stream, rewind, or replay on up to three devices at once. The plan matters: ESPN support distinguishes ESPN Select from ESPN Unlimited, and the available golf access depends on the applicable subscription and event. Confirm both before signing up; the coverage description alone does not establish which plan includes a particular event.

Peacock: a selection of U.S. tournaments, not all golf
Peacock’s golf page advertises PGA TOUR coverage, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, USGA events, and other tournament coverage. Its listing for the 2026 Presidents Cup identifies streaming on September 26–27, with additional coverage on NBC. That listing does not mean Peacock carries every session, every golf event, or the complete rights to each tournament. Check the event page and schedule for the specific stream you want. View Peacock’s golf coverage.
Peacock plans and features
At the time of the official sports page check, Peacock Premium was $12.99 per month or $129.99 per year, and Premium Plus was $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year. Prices can change, so verify them on Peacock’s plans and device-support page before subscribing.

NOW and Sky Sports: UK and Ireland golf rights
NOW advertises live coverage of every golf major on Sky Sports and says its app works on smartphones, smart TVs, and games consoles. Sky describes a broader UK and Ireland portfolio that includes majors, PGA TOUR, DP World Tour, LPGA Tour, Ladies European Tour, and team competitions. Its PGA TOUR agreement is stated to run through 2029. Rights and availability should not be extrapolated beyond the UK and Ireland. See NOW’s golf membership page and Sky’s rights announcement.

How to choose the right golf stream
- Start with your country. Golf rights are territorial; a service advertised in the U.S. may not carry the same event in the UK, Ireland, or elsewhere.
- Identify the event and feed. Confirm the tournament, day, and whether you want a main broadcast, featured group, or another stream. A service’s broad golf category does not establish access to every feed.
- Match the plan to the event. For ESPN, verify which plan provides access. For Peacock, check the individual event listing. For NOW, review the current Sports membership details.
- Check the device and household needs. Compare app support for your specific hardware and confirm any simultaneous-stream limit that matters to you.
- Compare the current cost and features. The Peacock figures above are page-listed prices at the time checked; ESPN and NOW pricing should be confirmed directly. Consider whether downloads or reduced ads matter, noting that live sports can still include ads.
