The PGA Championship returns May 14 through May 17 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, highlighting a busy stretch of the PGA Tour schedule.

Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament after winning the 2025 PGA Championship and remains one of the sport’s dominant players. He narrowly missed adding another major earlier this season, finishing one stroke behind Rory McIlroy at the Masters.

McIlroy heads into the PGA Championship with momentum following his Masters victory, while many of golf’s top-ranked players are expected to compete in the season’s second major.

How to watch the PGA Championship while traveling

If you're traveling during the PGA Championship, you may still be able to stream coverage through your existing subscriptions. However, some streaming services may limit access based on your location, meaning your usual coverage could look different while you're away from home.

In those situations, some viewers use a virtual private network (VPN) to access their streaming accounts while traveling. A VPN encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a server in another location, which may help you securely sign in to your streaming services while on the go.

New to VPNs? Getting started is relatively simple:

  • Choose a VPN service, such as NordVPN, and follow the setup instructions
  • Select a server location that matches your home country
  • Open your streaming app and log in as usual

If you're traveling during the PGA Championship, NordVPN can help you securely access the streaming services you normally use at home.

NordVPN is known for fast connection speeds, strong security features and reliable streaming support.

Get up to about 70% off long-term plans, with pricing starting around $3.39 per month.

The subscription supports multiple devices and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
