The competition will begin at 2 p.m ET, with free live streams available on LIVGolf.com, YouTube and Facebook. According to a press release, coverage of the event will include 60 on-course microphones, including ones worn by players and caddies, and 50 cameras capturing the action.

As of this writing, the LIV Golf tournament in London will not be available to watch on TV. That comes with one caveat. In a press release, tournament organizers wrote that the tournament “will also be aired live on a global roster of leading premium and free-to-air broadcasters providing coverage in 138 territories around the world.” It’s unclear whether those broadcasters will include any TV channels, but the release stated that “the list of global networks covering the LIV Golf Invitational Series will be made available later this week on LIVGolf.com.”
