How to watch the Safeway Open today without cable

The PGA Tour’s first tournament of the 2020-21 season gets underway on Thursday at Silverado Resort in Napa, California. The Safeway Open not only kicks off the new golf season, but it also serves as a tune-up for the US Open. In this most unusual and terrible year, the PGA had to suspend play and revise its schedule in the spring, postponing two major tournaments and canceling another altogether as the coronavirus spread. The British Open was canceled, the Masters was moved from April to November and the US Open was moved from June to next week.

The Safeway Open starts Thursday, Sept. 10 and concludes on Sunday, Sept 13. Here’s what you need to know to watch without a cable subscription.
