Legal ways to watch the Golf?

    Does anyone know if there is a legal and reliable way to watch the US PGA Golf and the Majors legally other than having to pay for the whole sky sports and sky package which works out at about 80 a month.

    I know the mods will be nervous of anyone mentioning illegal streams, i am not interested in anything illegal. I would like a legal and reliable way to view the golf at an affordable price if its possible.

    What other legit options are there other than sky?

    yea except that wouldn't exactly be legal now would it??

    Legal options that I know of would be Now TV, Sky/Virgin etc sub, Watch in pub/club/friends house.

    Or if you know someone with Sky, maybe a sibling/parent/kid - someone close, you could ask them if they use Sky Go. If they don't, then maybe they will give you one of their passes. Each Sky Sub can get 2 free passes. This means it gets locked down to a specific computer rather than user. They can be moved, but only once a month as far as I know. If they use their sky go, there is an option to get Sky Go Extra which costs about 7 quid a month, but gives them 4 passes instead of 2 + other functions.

    I used to do that with a family members Sky but they have got rid of sky since. Most people i know have got rid of sky. They just can't justify the cost for how little they actually watch. I don't watch any other sport.

    I had a look at NowTV website and they have an option for a daily, weekly and monthly sports pass. I suppose the €15 weekly pass for big tournaments like the majors and this weekends players might be an option. NowTV has €50 a month for sports. That's €600 a year and i'm not sure its value for money if i only really want it to watch the golf.

    Those options mentioned previously are all illegal streaming services. Please don't post them again thanks.

    no, but if you were paying it for a year you would probably just subscribe to sky directly for a better deal.

    Is the PGA Tour Live subscription any use? It says available globally, has anyone here used it?
