How to watch PGA Championship 2020 live stream

Traditionally the final major of the season, this year’s PGA Championship instead serves as the first major of golf’s revised 2020 calendar.

Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the 2020 PGA Championship with our guide below.

While there won’t be any spectators in attendance at Harding Park in San Francisco this year, this year’s Championship will likely be a no less competitive affair.

Aside from some notable exceptions – Francesco Molinari and Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington both opted to withdraw, while Branden Grace was forced to pull out after testing positive for coronavirus – its an otherwise full field with Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, along with new world no.1 Justin Thomas all set to feature.

All eyes will be on defending champion Brooks Koepka who will be aiming to win his third consecutive US PGA. While he may not have won a Tour event so far this season, Koepka may be hitting form just at the right time and comes into the tournament off a tied-second place finish at the WGC-FedEx St, Jude last weekend.

That tournament was won by Justin Thomas, who fired a five-under 65 in the final round to claim a three-shot victory and his third PGA Tour win of the season and he will also be heavily backed to increase his haul this weekend.
Read on to find out how to watch the PGA Championship no matter where you are in the world.
