Watch the Farmers Insurance Open this week for the latest event on the 2025 PGA Tour, with all the information in this article on live streams, TV broadcasts, and how to tune in wherever you are in the world.
The unusual thing about the Farmers Insurance Open is that it will be played from Wednesday through Saturday, rather than the traditional Thursday-Sunday schedule, due to the clash with Sunday's action in the NFL.
Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele are two high-profile withdrawals but it's still a star-studded field that will take to the North and South courses at Torrey Pines in California. Among the favourites are Ludvig Aberg, Hideki Matsuyama, Jason Day, Singjae Im, Tony Finau, Max Homa, and 2024 champion Mathieu Pavon.
Read on for all the information on how to watch Farmers Insurance Open online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Watch the Farmers Insurance Open in the US
Fans in the US can watch the Farmers Insurance Open across a number of channels: ESPN+, Golf Channel and CBS/Paramount+ on Sunday.
ESPN+
The ESPN+ streaming platform is the home of PGA Tour Live, a multi-feed broadcast operation that will cover every day of the Farmers Insurance Open. Across the four different streams, you can watch from 11.45am-7pm ET on Wednesday and Thursday, and from 12pm-8pm ET on Friday and Saturday.
Golf Channel
The Golf Channel will also have coverage on all four days. However, it will only have two full days – on Friday and Saturday it will only host the early action before coverage moves to CBS.
The Golf Channel comes on cable TV plans. Cable TV customers can get an online simulcast of the Golf Channel on the NBC Sports app, but otherwise, to watch the Farmers Insurance Open online, you need a cord-cutting TV streaming package, such as Sling TV.
CBS / Paramount+
Finally, CBS has the rights to the Farmers Insurance Open in the US, although only on the final two days, January 24 and 25. Coverage captures the late action on both days, running from 5pm-8pm ET on Friday and 4pm-8pm on Sunday, and will be available online at Paramount+.

Fans in the UK can watch the Farmers Insurance Open golf on Sky Sports, and specifically the Sky Sports Golf channel.
