Here’s the how, when and where you can watch the 2018 edition of The Players Championship on TV and by live stream.

The Players Championship is often referred to as professional golf’s unofficial “fifth major” and with a consistently strong field of 144 of the best players in the world, including every single player in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, a beautiful course as a host and the biggest purse of the year, it’s easy to see why.

As it has every year since 1982, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida will play host to the biggest event on the PGA Tour schedule as the world’s best will once again attempt to tame the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. Defending champion Si Woo Kim, who last year became the youngest-ever winner of this tournament, will try to become the first-ever back-to-back winner in Players Championship history but will have plenty of challengers ready to take the crown from him, which should make for some excellent golf throughout the week and some thrilling drama down the stretch on Sunday afternoon.

For those who are looking to watch the action from The Players on television, Golf Channel will be handling the first two rounds of coverage and NBC will take over for the weekend.

Thursday, May 10: 1:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. ET (Golf Channel)

Friday, May 11: 1:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. ET (Golf Channel)

Saturday, May 12: 2:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. ET (NBC)

Sunday, May 13: 2:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. ET (NBC)

For those looking for streaming options for The Players, the NBC Sports app is a great place to start as you’ll get the same coverage you would on the above-mentioned channels. However, if you’re looking for a little extra, PGATourLive.com will also be providing streaming coverage from TPC Sawgrass throughout the tournament. Be aware that there is a charge for the subscription but you will get much more coverage as they’ll get going with the featured groups on Thursday and Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. ET and 8:30 a.m. ET on the weekend. Featured hole coverage on the 12th and the famed 17th get going at 9:00 a.m. You can also access a free preview on Twitter on Thursday and Friday.
