To watch the PGA Tour online for free, you'll need a Virtual Private Network such as ExpressVPN.
A VPN is a service that creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet.
It acts like a private tunnel for your online activity, making it more secure an anonymous.
How to get Express VPN
To safely and securely live stream the Tour Championship with ExpressVPN:
- Get ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is an easy to use VPN that lets you change your IP address, making it look like you’re in a completely different country. It also encrypts your internet traffic to protect your privacy.
It's compatible with most streaming devices including Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation, and Android and Apple mobiles.
If you're currently abroad or not in the same country as the TV streaming service you're trying to use, you probably won't be able to watch the 2025 Tour Championship because of geo-blocking, a technology that broadcasters use to restricts certain content to specific parts of the world.
However, you can dodge geo-blocks by using a VPN, and ExpressVPN is one of the best.
