This week the top golfers in the game will once again give it their all for a chance at major glory at the 2021 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. Scroll down to learn all the different ways to watch the second major of the year on TV and online.
What you need to know about the PGA
The host of this year’s PGA Championship is Kiawah Island Resort’s Ocean Course. Located south of Charleston on the South Carolina coast, the Ocean Course is known to be one of the most difficult courses in the world. Designed by legendary architect Pete Dye, it previously hosted the 2012 PGA Championship, won by Rory McIlroy, as well as the memorable 1991 Ryder Cup, often referred to as the “War by the Shore.”
This year players are expecting a truly major-worthy challenge, especially if the wind picks up and sends scores soaring as happened in the second round in 2012.
Coverage of the 2021 PGA will be extensive, giving fans a chance to watch virtually every shot of the tournament live. ESPN will carry 12 straight hours of coverage on Thursday and Friday, split between the TV network and streaming service ESPN+, which will also carry Featured Group and Featured Hole coverage all four days. The exhaustive coverage for the weekend will be split between ESPN+, ESPN and CBS.
