CME Group Tour Championship 2023: How to watch, stream online, TV schedule and more

The 2023 LPGA season will conclude this week with the CME Group Tour Championship. The event, taking place at the Tiburon Golf Club - Gold Course in Naples, Florida, will see golfers compete for the $11 million purse.

The event will mark the return of the circuit to Naples after 31 official events, resulting in the final for the season-long Race to the CME Globe.

The four-day event, taking place from November 16-19, will be covered live on the Golf Channel. The first three rounds of the CME Group Tour Championship will be live on the Golf Channel, while Sunday’s final round will be taken over by NBC.

It is noteworthy that the LPGA finale clashes its broadcast dates with the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic.

It’ll be a rare weekend when the ladies’ event will be on network television, while the men’s circuit misses out. Apart from the Golf Channel and NBC, ESPN+ will also live stream the event.

The coverage timing on the online website will be announced after Friday and Saturday’s pairings and tee times are announced.
