Ryder Cup 2023 live stream: players, schedule and how to watch golf online, what TV channel

The 44th edition of the Ryder Cup gets underway on Friday at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club as Team Europe look to regain the trophy in Italy. Despite losing 19-9 two years ago at Whistling Straits, the omens look good for the Europeans as they have not lost on home soil since 1993. 

You can watch every drive, chip and putt with our guide to getting a Ryder Cup live stream – no matter where in the world you are. It’s FREE in Italy, too. 

Two years ago in Wisconsin, the triumphant American players partied hard after a crushing victory, white Europe’s Rory McIlroy was reduced to tears. Team USA were simply unstoppable as they were cheered on by raucous home crowds, with Dustin Johnson playing some unbelievable golf as he claimed five points for his side. 

This time around there is no room in the team for Johnson, or fellow LIV Golf player Bryson DeChambeau. Even without the powerful duo, the American team looks stacked as it includes 2023 major championship winners Brooks Koepka (PGA Championship), Wyndham Clark (U.S. Open) and Brian Harman (The Open Championship). 

Team USA also boast the world number one in their line-up. Scottie Sheffler has been in remarkable form this year, winning six times on the PGA Tour and impressed two years ago on his Ryder Cup debut when he secured a resounded 4-and-3 singles match victory over Jon Rahm.

Rahm, the reigning Masters champion, will be out for revenge this time around, as will McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry – who all represented Europe last time out. 

The Europeans will also be boosted by the knowledge that a player from Team USA hasn’t won on the PGA or DP World Tour since late July, while Sepp Straka, McIlroy, Hovland and Ludvig Aberg have all triumphed in recent months. 

Can an in-form European line-up emerge victorious in Italy? Or will Team USA make it back-to-back victories? The stakes could barely be higher, so follow our guide as we explain how to watch a 2023 Ryder Cup live stream from anywhere.
