The 2023 LIV Golf League will be streamed for free on the new LIV Golf Plus app and LIVGolfPlus.com (opens in new tab) website outside of the US, where the CW Network will be showing the 14-event, $405m season.
LIV Golf Plus is available to download on iOS, Android, Apple TV and Fire TV. The action will also be able to watch on LIVGolfPlus.com, allowing viewers from over 180 global territories to tune in.
