A stacked field awaits at the fifth Saudi International this week, a former European Tour event now under the Asian Tour banner. Its location in King Abdullah Economic City along the Red Sea, combined with its huge appearance fees, have enticed many big-name players to make the trip.
The winner of the tournament will receive $5m, as well as a projected 26 world ranking points. A number of LIV Golf members are set to compete, including world No. 3 Cameron Smith, who has already committed to the event.
If you live in the US and want to watch golf live on your TV, there are a few ways to do so. The easiest and cheapest way to do so is through a streaming service like Sling TV or fuboTV.
The Golf Channel is a 24-hour sports network that provides coverage of PGA and LPGA tournaments as well as other golf-related events. It is owned by NBC Sports Group and broadcasts from NBC Sports headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
It is available to about 90 million homes in the United States, Canada and Asia through cable and satellite companies. It has more live golf coverage than any other network and also offers news, instruction and original programming.
Golf Channel was founded in 1991 by media entrepreneur Joseph E. Gibbs, who believed there was a demand for a 24-hour channel dedicated to the sport. He and Arnold Palmer secured an initial $80 million investment from a variety of cable television providers.
Since its launch, the Golf Channel has become one of the most popular subscription networks in the world and has a large global audience. Its programming schedule includes more live golf coverage than any other network, including the PGA Tour, The Open, Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
The Golf Channel is available on a variety of streaming devices, including Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV Stick. If you have an Android phone or tablet, you can install the Golf Channel app to your device to watch live streams of events and other content on the go.
You can also watch Golf Channel on a desktop or laptop computer through the Golf Channel website. This option is best for users with access to a high-speed internet connection.
Another way to watch Golf Channel on a device is by signing up for the Golf Channel Live service. It costs $25 per month after a free trial, and it supports a wide range of streaming devices such as Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast and Roku.
If you are looking for a simple and affordable option to watch Golf Channel online, Sling TV is the best option. Its cheapest plan, Sling Blue with the Sports Extra bundle, has 60 channels for $51 per month. Its other plans, Sling Orange with the standard bundle and Sling Blue with the Premium Bundle, are both less expensive. They both offer a free stream of a two-month trial, and you can choose to keep your subscription after the trial is over.
