What has been announced
The event’s official website lists live coverage from 7–11 PM ET on Golf Channel and USA Network. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler captain two teams of four in a skills competition at Trump National Golf Club Jupiter.
The organizer says final team rosters will be announced later. This guide does not fill in unannounced players or promise a particular DIRECTV package price.
Choose the correct viewing route
Use your DIRECTV guide to check Golf Channel and USA Network in the package at your address. Confirm the event title, local listing and recording options near the broadcast date.
Check whether your household already has qualifying access through an existing subscription or bundle. Complete any activation or account-linking steps using the account that actually handles the billing. Review current price and renewal terms before buying another service.
Find the correct program
- Search the complete title in the app or television guide.
- Confirm the film, series or event details.
- Check the release date and local availability.
- Review the rating, languages or time zone shown in the listing.
- Select the included playback or recording option when available.
A trailer, reminder button or older program with a similar name is not the new release. For a series, check the episode list instead of assuming the entire season is available together. For a live event, recheck the guide before setting a recording because schedules can change.
Prepare your television
Test sign-in on the device you intend to use. An app installed on the television does not establish a paid subscription, and a television package alone does not unlock every separately billed streaming service.
If playback fails, check the account, plan, location and connection before purchasing the same content again. Streaming catalogs and local channel lineups can differ outside the United States, so confirm the listing where you will watch.
