Tiger Woods live stream 2018: How to watch Arnold Palmer Invitational Round 2 online

Tiger Woods is here to add to the five-course meal of sports that’s helping you get to the weekend as fast as possible. The productivity on the first Friday of the NCAA tournament is never going to be great. Cubicles and offices across America check out for the last two days of the week and just start streaming or watching basketball games from noon onward. It’s a national celebration and probably should be a national holiday.

This Friday, you should probably add a fifth screen or stream to your rotation. That’s because Woods will be out in the afternoon wave of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and he’s once again on the first page of the leaderboard. Just a week after really owning the sports world and turning up the full Tiger-mania for the first time in this comeback, there was Woods back at Bay Hill again and making another early move. He quickly raced out to a share of the lead on Thursday morning, and then finished up with a 4-under 68 that has him in prime position for another weekend of contention.

Woods will go off on Friday at 1:08 p.m. ET with Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama. He’s been getting plenty early-Thursday / late-Friday draws in this comeback that’s the schedule again this week. Woods’ second round will fall mostly within the Golf Channel coverage window, which starts at 2 p.m. ET. But you’ll need to go to PGA Tour Live for those first few holes on the front nine.

This is a big weekend for Golf Channel. It was co-founded by Palmer and is located just down the road from Bay Hill. They should have their full A-team on Friday, as well as over the weekend when they split the coverage with their sister network, NBC. Friday’s round might extend beyond the 6 p.m. end time for the coverage window. The pace of play has been right around five hours. But expect Golf Channel to stay with Woods until the finish, however long that takes them past 6 p.m.

If you’re unable to watch on TV, or your TV is just occupied with basketball games, then Golf Channel will have a simulcast stream up and running for multiple devices. PGA Tour Live will also have their usual featured groups and holes coverage over the entire day. Here are your streaming options and coverage schedule for the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational:
