The Barbasol Championship ended with Swedish player Vincent Norman taking home the top prize with English golfer Nathan Kimsey as the runner-up. Now we have two more PGA tour championships on the horizon: the Open Championship (also known as the British Open) in Hoylake, England and the Barracuda Championship (also known as the Reno-Tahoe Open) in Truckee, California. Both tournaments start on Thursday, July 20 and last through Sunday, July 23. If you want to watch all the action, here's how to stream these events.

Possible favorites for the 2023 Open Championship include Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka, while the people to keep an eye on in the Barracuda Championship include Stephan Jaeger, Taylor Pendrith, Keith Mitchell, Beau Hossler and Mark Hubbard.

Best way to stream the PGA Tour

The PGA Tour (including both the Open Championship and the Barracuda Championship) airs on the Golf Channel, which is included in many cable TV packages and on DirecTV. Don't have cable or satellite TV? Not a problem: You can watch the Golf Channel via a Peacock Premium streaming plan. Peacock Premium starts at $5.99 (or $59.99 per year for the annual plan), and includes access to 50 always-on channels, current NBC and Bravo shows, movies and -- of course -- sporting events such as the PGA Tour: Barracuda Championship (July 20-23) and the upcoming 2023 Open Championship (July 20-23).
