Golf's calendar runs year-round across five continents, headlined by the four Majors, the Ryder Cup, the Presidents Cup, and the weekly PGA Tour and DP World Tour events. Getting comprehensive coverage requires access to multiple broadcasters — Sky Sports Golf, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, and Golf Channel. IPTV provides all of them in one subscription.
The Four Majors on IPTV
The four Major championships — The Masters, the PGA Championship, the US Open, and The Open Championship — are the events every golf fan prioritises. Here is how they are broadcast and how IPTV covers each:
The Masters (Augusta National, April)
The Masters is the most prestigious event in golf. In the UK, Sky Sports Golf carries all four rounds with extended coverage and Augusta course features. In the USA, CBS Sports broadcasts the weekend rounds while ESPN covers Thursday and Friday. All channels are accessible via Smooth Stream — plus the Augusta National Masters app feed for Featured Groups and Amen Corner is accessible via IPTV browser players.
The Open Championship (Rotating UK venues, July)
The Open Championship is the oldest Major and the only one played outside the USA. Sky Sports Golf holds exclusive UK live rights for all four rounds. In the USA, USA Network and NBC Sports share coverage. The Open is one of the most accessible events for UK viewers via IPTV — Sky Sports Golf carries over 60 hours of live coverage across the week.

The US Open is broadcast on Sky Sports Golf in the UK and NBC/Peacock in the USA. The PGA Championship is on Sky Sports Golf in the UK and ESPN/CBS in the USA. Both events are covered across multiple feeds in Smooth Stream, giving viewers the choice of UK or US commentary for both Major championships.
Ryder Cup: Golf's Greatest Team Event
The Ryder Cup takes place in odd-numbered years, but the drama lasts for years either side. When the Ryder Cup occurs, Sky Sports Golf provides wall-to-wall coverage in the UK, and NBC Sports carries it in the USA. Smooth Stream delivers both feeds — European fans can follow their team's fortunes on Sky Sports while US viewers watch the same action with NBC's passionate American commentary.
PGA Tour and DP World Tour Weekly Coverage
Beyond the Majors, the PGA Tour runs from January to August with weekly events. The DP World Tour (formerly European Tour) runs a parallel schedule. Smooth Stream carries:
- Golf Channel (USA) — weekday PGA Tour coverage, early-round broadcasts, international events
