How to stream the Sony Open without cable:
While you can catch the tournament’s biggest moments during the Golf Channel’s primetime coverage from 7-10 p.m. ET each night, for the most comprehensive live coverage of every round, you’ll need to tune into ESPN+. ESPN+ will be streaming early coverage and featured group coverage every day of the event from roughly 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Golf Channel is available with subscriptions to DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV.
ESPN’s new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN Unlimited package and the ESPN Select package.
For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes, as well as access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, plus on-demand replays, original programming and more.
ESPN Select (also referred to as ESPN+) is also still an option if you don’t want to commit to the full package. For $12.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to events like select NCAA football games, F1 driver cams, simulcasts of certain sports that air on other channels and more.
Sony Open coverage will be available on both ESPN Unlimited and ESPN Select this week.
