Tour Championship 2026: How to Watch, Prize Money and Key Contenders
The Tour Championship 2026 tees off Thursday at East Lake in Atlanta, with 30 golfers vying for the FedExCup title and $10 million top prize. TechRadar outlines free streaming options and TV coverage.
The field has been reduced from 70 to the top 30 in the season standings, featuring players such as Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood. Scheffler, who topped the points table and won the opening playoff event, remains the player to beat, though he finished outside the top 10 at last weekend's BMW Championship. Wyndham Clark won that event by three shots, moving to third in the standings and establishing himself as a strong contender. McIlroy is seeking a fourth FedExCup crown, while six former champions are in the field, including Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland and Justin Rose. First-time hopefuls include Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Kim Si-woo.
For viewers, TechRadar reports that Canadian fans can watch Rounds 3 and 4 for free on CTV 2 or with a digital antenna, though a TV login may be required. In the United States, coverage is split between ESPN, CBS and the Golf Channel. The Golf Channel will broadcast all four days, ESPN covers the opening two rounds, and CBS takes over from Saturday. Live TV services such as YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream and Hulu+Live TV offer free trials that can be used to access the full coverage. CBS's broadcast can also be streamed via Paramount+, which is accessible through a Walmart+ trial. For those outside these regions, using a VPN to access home-country services is an option, according to TechRadar, which recommends NordVPN.
The total prize fund is $40 million, ensuring intense competition across the four days. TechRadar's guide provides detailed schedules and streaming options for fans worldwide.
