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

NBC and the PGA Tour will not be able to compete with an NFL Sunday, but they have one of the better scenarios they could have hoped for heading into the final 18 holes of the PGA Tour season. Jordan Spieth, who became the fan-favorite face of golf this year, shot into the lead of the TOUR Championship with a late charge on Saturday and will come to the final 18 holes of the FedExCup Playoffs favored to win $10 million.

No one will ever come close to matching Tiger’s draw for TV and his appeal to the outside audience that does not regularly watch golf. It’s just not the same universe, like trying to have golf compete against the NFL on a Sunday afternoon. But Spieth certainly showed some signs that he could become that face and a top draw this year. His worst golf of the season has come during this FedExCup, but he posted his hottest rounds at the right time and now he’ll win it all with a win in the fourth leg of the playoffs. That has to make the folks at NBC happy. The only thing better would be if Rickie Fowler and/or Rory McIlroy, who are playing in the two groups preceding Spieth’s final tee time, went super low on their front nine and joined the battle.

Pushing Spieth will be his playing partner, Henrik Stenson, who won the FedExCup here two years ago. Stenson also started the week inside the top five in the FedExCup standings so he’ll win the overall cup with a Tour Championship win. This is just the second time in the FedExCup’s history that the players in the Sunday final pairing both have that top five automatic power to win the entire cup. Usually, it’s a player just hoping to win the instant event and needing help elsewhere to slide in and grab the entire postseason title. Stenson and Spieth both have that “control your own destiny” status we hear so much about at this final event. That should make for a compelling watch Sunday afternoon.

NBC will have the final call. They have become the traditional home for the last three events of the four-leg FedExCup. CBS does the first one in late August before SEC and NFL football overwhelm their weekends. NBC has no such Sunday afternoon NFL conflict, although Saturday’s round was moved up several hours to have it complete before Notre Dame kickoff against UMass. Sunday’s round is back in the typical slot with an estimated finish of 5:45 p.m. ET. If you’re unable to watch on TV, there will be a simulcast stream of the entire TV coverage all afternoon. PGA Tour Live will also have a featured holes stream, starting with the very first group and running to the conclusion of the final round of the year.
