The DP World Tour Championship 2023 tees off on Thursday, November 16. It’s set to take place on the Earth course at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Golf fans have four full days of action to look forward to. If you’re traveling abroad at the time of the 2023 DP World Tour Championship, you may find streams are geo-blocked. To watch it online from overseas, you’ll likely need to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
We’re only recommending official sources for watching the DP World Tour Championship 2023 online. Popular sporting events attract a lot of unlicensed streams but they tend to be of far inferior quality. Indeed, the poor performance (lag and buffering) may cause you to miss out on key moments. What’s more, unauthorized streams run the risk of being pulled offline for violating copyright. Fortunately, you don’t have these issues with official sources.
Streaming platforms showing the DP World Tour Championship are region-locked. If you go abroad on vacation, you’ll need a VPN to access your usual home streaming service.
How to watch the DP World Tour Championship with a VPN
A VPN is a service you can use to connect to the internet through a server in another country, regardless of your actual physical location. This changes your IP address and allows you to bypass geo-blocking (and watch the DP World Tour Championship 2023 online from anywhere as a result).
Here’s how to live stream the DP World Tour Championship 2023 by using a VPN:
- Sign up with a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two reliable alternatives for streaming sports live.
- You can now download and install the VPN app that’s compatible with your device. The above VPNs offer apps for all major operating systems.
- Open the VPN app, login if prompted, and connect to a server in your home country. For example, a server in the US for watching the DP World Tour Championship on Peacock.
- Go to the streaming platform and sign in. Select the DP World Tour Championship live stream. It should no longer be geo-restricted and can play without issue.
- Blocked? Clear your cookies and reload your browser. You can also try connecting to a different server to change your IP address.
The DP World Tour Championship 2023 will air live. We recommend you test your VPN with your chosen streaming platform ahead of time. That way, you have enough time to contact your VPN’s customer support if you need to troubleshoot any issues.

How to watch the DP World Tour Championship online on US TV
Golf fans in the US can watch the DP World Tour Championship on the Golf Channel and Peacock. There are cable and cable-free ways to watch online. If you have a cable TV subscription that includes the Golf Channel, you need only sign in to the Golf Channel app, providing the username or email address and password you use with your cable TV provider. You can then stream the DP World Tour Championship at no added cost.
Don’t have cable? You have a couple of different options available to you. By far the most affordable way to watch the DP World Tour Championship 2023 online without cable is on Peacock. A subscription to the streaming platform costs just $5.99 (USD) a month. With the annual plan, you can get 12 months for the price of 10. It’s priced at $59.99 a year.
You can watch the Golf Channel without cable via the following TV streaming services: FuboTV ($74.99/month), Hulu with Live TV ($76.99/month with Disney+ and ESPN+ included), Sling TV ($51/month), and YouTube TV ($72.99/month). FuboTV and YouTube TV currently offer free trials, allowing you to live stream the DP World Tour Championship for free.
Of the above TV streaming services, Sling TV is the most affordable. You’ll need the base subscription. This is usually $40 a month but there’s currently a promotion where you pay just half ($20) for your first month. You then need the Sports Extra add-on that costs an extra $11/month. As such, you may pay as little as $31 for your first month of Sling TV (and the Golf Channel).
Whether you watch the DP World Tour Championship on the Golf Channel, via a TV streaming service, or Peacock, you’ll need a US IP address. Traveling overseas? A VPN lets you connect to a server in the US and continue watching as normal. NordVPN is our top-rated VPN for live sports streaming and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it risk-free.
Where else can I watch the DP World Tour Championship online?
UK
The DP World Tour Championship will be available to watch on Sky Sports Golf. Already got a Sky Sports subscription? You can watch online at no extra cost via the Sky Go app. It’s possible to watch Sky Sports Golf without committing to a contract. Go to Now and select the Sky Sports Membership. A 24-hour pass costs £11.98 (GBP) while a month is priced at £34.99.
Sky Go and Now are both only available in the UK. To watch them from overseas, you’d need to connect to a VPN server in the UK for a UK IP address.
Canada
If you’re in Canada, you’ll be able to watch the DP World Tour Championship on Sportsnet. You may already have Sportsnet as part of your TV package, in which case you need only sign in to Sportsnet+ website or app to watch. Otherwise, a Sportsnet+ Standard subscription costs $19.99 (CAD) a month or $149.99 annually. Premium is $34.99/month or $249.99/year.
Due to the fact that Sportsnet is only available in Canada, a VPN and Canadian IP address is required to access and stream its content from abroad.
Australia
You have two options when it comes to streaming the DP World Tour Championship in Australia: Fox Sports and Kayo. Foxtel Go subscribers already have access to the Fox Sports channels and need only sign in via the Foxtel Go website or app. There’s also Foxtel Now, a contract-free option that requires subscribing to not only the base (Essentials) pack but also the Sport pack. It costs a total of $54 (AUD).
Another cable-free provider is Kayo Sport. At $25 a month, Kayo Sport is far more affordable than Foxtel Now, but you don’t get access to all of the entertainment options that Foxtel Now offers in its base subscription tier.
If you travel outside Australia, the above options become geo-blocked. Using a VPN to get an Australian IP address helps you bypass restrictions.
Can I use a free VPN to watch the DP World Tour Championship?
While there’s no shortage of free VPN providers, they’re not suitable for watching the DP World Tour Championship (or streaming in general). For starters, they offer very few servers and server locations. This limits the content you can access while traveling abroad. Furthermore, many free VPNs engage in bandwidth throttling to manage their networks. They attract far too many users for the small number of servers they offer. This results in performance problems.
Free VPNs also tend to offer very few features and are typically less beginner-friendly due to the absence of customer support. Some VPN features aren’t essential for everybody. However, a VPN must properly encrypt your data and protect you from leaks. Many free VPNs fall short on security due to a lack of investment. Furthermore, free VPNs often make their money by spamming you with ads or even logging your browsing data to sell to third parties.

DP World Tour Championship: FAQs
Will a VPN slow my connection when streaming golf?
You can expect a VPN to slow your connection when streaming golf or any other content. However, the drop in speed doesn’t have to be noticeable. A VPN encrypts and re-routes your data to its server and these extra steps in the process can have an impact on speed. Free VPNs in particular struggle in this respect because they often throttle bandwidth.
We only recommend VPNs that offer unlimited bandwidth. The fastest VPNs tend to use fast VPN protocols such as WireGuard. As such, you shouldn’t notice much of a difference when streaming golf while connected to a VPN. Remember, the closer a VPN server to your physical location, the faster the connection is likely to be.
Is it legal to use a VPN to watch golf online?
It’s perfectly legal to use a VPN to watch golf online. A VPN is a valid way of securing your data and bypassing content restrictions. However, while VPNs are legal in the vast majority of countries, there are a few countries in which their legal status is unclear. For example, countries such as China and Russia have banned specific VPNs from being used.
Furthermore, using a VPN to bypass the geographic restrictions of some streaming platforms may go against their terms of use. This doesn’t make it illegal though, and while the terms of some companies may state that action could be taken against your account, this is highly unlikely. Streaming services in particular tend to blacklist VPN IP addresses instead of users. You would then have to switch VPN servers to change your IP address.
