BMW Championship 2015 live stream: How to watch online, TV coverage and more

For the first time this season, a PGA Tour final round will go head-to-head against the NFL behemoth and its full Sunday slate of games. Golf is obviously no match for the NFL and the PGA Tour has done what they can to try and avoid directly competing with football, but it can get impossible to work around this time of year with the FedExCup. Watching Jason Day dominate can be thrilling for close golf watchers and may draw in some outside interest, but his six-shot lead heading into the final 18 holes has removed much of the drama from what would otherwise be a loaded leaderboard.

NBC will have the annual coverage of this third leg of the FedExCup, the BMW Championship. With no afternoon football conflicts on Sunday, they take over from CBS for the final three events of the postseason. Sunday Night Football is their prime property, but everything will be wrapped up in Chicago well before that pregame show even comes on the air. Between the FedExCup, and either the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup team competitions in alternating years, this is one of the stronger stretches on the schedule for NBC golf. It’s just that football dominates, unlike other big parts of their Tour schedule like The Players in May or the Florida swing.

Day is set to tee off just before 2 p.m. ET at Conway Farms, setting up the usual 6 p.m. finish on NBC. Johnny Miller said on Saturday that Day’s current streak was superior (in terms of scoring) to Tiger Woods in 2000, which was the peak of Tiger’s powers and is often referred to as the best golf ever played. Miller’s assertion is too much but Day is on the verge of his fourth win in six starts and becoming just the third player in the last 20 years to post five wins in a single season (joining Woods and Vijay Singh).

Before NBC comes on the air for the finish, their Comcast sister Golf Channel will have early round coverage beginning at Noon. If you’re unable to watch on TV or would just rather put NFL up, there will be a simulcast stream of the TV coverage via the NBC/GC Live Extra service. PGA Tour will also have a featured holes stream running from the first tee time at 8:30 a.m. all the way through the finish, so that’s another alternative. Here are all your media options for the final 18 in Chicago:

Noon to 2 p.m. -- Golf Channel

2 to 6 p.m. -- NBC

8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. -- PGA Tour Live featured holes coverage -- 1st/15th/17th holes
