TOUR Championship 2014 live stream: How to watch online, TV coverage and more

If you’re feeling down about the NFL, good news, the PGA Tour season wraps up on Sunday afternoon with $10 million on the line in the FedEx Cup finale. There are just 29 players in the field at the TOUR Championship, but with just 18 holes to go, the final round with start as a two-man race between Rory McIlroy and Billy Horschel. They will anchor the tee sheet on Sunday afternoon, sharing the lead at 9-under and playing in the final pairing of the day just after 2 p.m. ET at East Lake Golf Club.

The PGA Tour’s postseason was never going to compete with the NFL -- no other sport can, but especially golf. But having Rory, the world No. 1 and the game’s most dominant force since Tiger Woods, in the hunt and playing in the final group is about all the Tour and their broadcast partners could have hoped for at the start of the week. McIlroy made his big move on Friday, shooting one of the lowest rounds of the week and getting into striking distance. Then on Saturday, he played with Horschel and closed a two-shot gap. At the start of each season, Rory’s primary goal is always going to be winning major championships. But now that the majors are over, he’s articulated on several occasions that he wants to finish the year off with a FedEx Cup and a fat new $10 million check. He’s said the season he’s had deserves a successful finish, and now he’s in perfect position to pull that off late on Sunday at the TOUR Championship.

NBC will have the reins for most of Sunday’s final round coverage, coming on the air at 1:30 p.m. ET and broadcasting until the conclusion around 6 p.m. CBS packed up their golf operations three weeks ago to transition over to football, but NBC, with no Sunday afternoon NFL broadcasts, doesn’t have the same conflicts so they’ve become the traditional home to the FedEx Cup. The network still has the Ryder Cup to broadcast this year, which is now their biggest golf property after losing rights to the U.S. Open to FOX. But for PGA Tour events, this, along with The Players, is one of their biggest golf broadcasts of the year. And Johnny Miller will make sure you’re aware if any player is folding under the pressure of playing for all the cash up for grabs at East Lake.

The first tee time of the day won’t go off until 11:50 a.m. ET, just 10 minutes before Golf Channel is set to come on the air. So much like Saturday, the entire 29-man field will play their final 18 during the coverage window. If you’re unable to watch on TV, Golf Channel will have their usual simulcast of all the TV coverage up and running on their LiveExtra service. In addition to that stream, the PGA Tour will have their own stream going that focuses on the 1st and 18th holes.
