The PGA Tour season comes down to East Lake Golf Club this weekend, where the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings will battle for the Tour Championship and the season-long title. It’s the final stop of the FedExCup Playoffs, which gives the week a different kind of pressure than a normal tournament. Every player in the field has already survived the season-long race to get here, but now the focus shifts to four rounds in Atlanta, where one golfer will leave with the trophy and the FedExCup.

Scottie Scheffler enters as the headliner and the player everyone is still chasing, but this field is loaded enough to make the finale feel wide open. Rory McIlroy brings plenty of East Lake history and is trying to add another FedExCup title to his resume, while players like Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, and Tommy Fleetwood round out some of the other favorites. East Lake can reward power, precision and patience, which is exactly what a season-ending championship should do. After months of tournaments, points and playoff movement, the PGA Tour season is ready for one final weekend.
The PGA Tour Championship runs Thursday through Sunday, and golf fans across the country can watch every stroke on Sling TV and Paramount+.

The PGA Tour Championship is spread across ESPN, Golf Channel, and CBS this weekend, so streaming the full tournament takes a little more planning than usual. Sling TV can still be the best starting point, but fans who want to watch every hole will need to build the right package.
For Sling, the cleanest setup is Sling Orange & Blue with the Sports Extra package. ESPN is part of the Orange side of Sling, while Golf Channel is available through Sports Extra. That means Sling Blue with Sports Extra can help with the Golf Channel portions of the tournament, but Orange & Blue with Sports Extra is the better pick if you also want the ESPN coverage.
CBS is the missing piece. Sling does not carry CBS, so fans who want to complete the setup will need to add Paramount+ Premium for the CBS windows on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a little convoluted, but the Sling route can still make sense. Even with that extra subscription, this setup should be more affordable, or at least in the same general range, as some of the bigger live TV streaming services that include CBS, ESPN, and Golf Channel in one place.

-
Sling TV Blue ($45.99/month)
-
Sling TV Orange & Blue ($60.99/month)
If you want a simpler one-service setup, these other major live TV streaming platforms are also worth considering because they carry CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel in many markets:
-
DIRECTV STREAM ($64.99/month for the first month, then $94.99/month; the Golf Channel is included in the Choice package)
-
Hulu + Live TV ($89.99/month with a 3-day free trial; also includes Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited)
-
YouTube TV ($67.99/month for the first three months, then $82.99/month with a variable free trial)
