The CJ Cup takes place at the Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, SC) between Thursday, October 20, and continues through Sunday, October 23. While the CJ Cup is on the PGA Tour schedule, the CJ Cup will not be on EPSN+ this week. Instead, live coverage of the CJ Cup will air on Golf Channel and Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. This article will explain everything you need to know about watching the CJ Cup without a cable TV subscription.
How To Stream The CJ Cup: Since all the CJ Cup Coverage is on Peacock, it makes sense to pick up a 1-month subscription to Peacock Premium for $4.99 and stream the tournament. Golf Channel will also cover the event. You could use a free trial to DIRECTV Stream and also watch the CJ cup on Golf Channel. Read on for the entire CJ Cup schedule and more on these streaming options, including watching on-demand.
