Tiger Woods live stream: How to watch Wells Fargo Championship Round 2 online

Let’s have Friday breakfast with the Wells Fargo Championship. Tiger Woods will be out early in the second round at Quail Hollow, and that gives you a permission slip to ignore your work a little earlier than normal on Friday. Woods will help get you to the afternoon and the weekend, playing at 7:40 a.m. ET in Charlotte. These rounds have been taking about five hours, but he’s out early when there’s less traffic and less players to back things up in front of him. So it’s likely he will be done around 12:30 p.m., just in time for you to take a lunch hour. See, you’re almost to the weekend now and all you’ve done is watched golf and had lunch.

The early tee time means Woods will not play during Golf Channel’s second round TV window, which goes live at 2 p.m. ET. Tiger will be the headliner for PGA TOUR LIVE’s featured groups coverage on Friday morning. Woods has been a boon to that over-the-top streaming service this year, getting that featured group treatment at Torrey Pines, Riviera, Honda, Tampa, and Bay Hill. At each of those stops, the Tour had to see spike in subscriptions and the demand for coverage of the one early round in Tampa momentarily broke the damn service.

Aside from that hiccup in Tampa, the quality of the stream is usually perfect. It’s a big improvement over the early days of these featured groups and featured holes coverage that the Tour’s digital operations would provide. PGA Tour Live now has a couple seasons under its belt, using MLBAM technology, and this season with Tiger playing outside the TV window has been its biggest boost yet. It’s still a change for some of the diehards, who watched these streams for several years with no paywall as the Tour figured out its strategy and technology it wanted to use.

But the subscription fee is not too severe and you can now also get these featured groups coverage on the new ESPN OTT streaming service, ESPN+. That newish service also has a free 7-day trial going on right now so if you wanted to dip your toe in there to watch Tiger, and then cancel, that may be a strategy to use if you don’t have a PGA Tour live sub on this Friday. Just trying to help you out here and save money while also diverting your attention from whatever it is you have to do on Friday morning.
