What SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio Covers
SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio is the service’s dedicated golf station, combining golf talk, interviews, instruction, and tournament play-by-play.
Its news, tournament scores, and highlights cover more than the PGA Tour. You’ll also hear coverage of the Champions Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and LPGA Tour. That makes it useful for following the wider golf calendar, even when you aren’t listening to a live round.
Golf news coverage does not guarantee live play-by-play of every tournament.
A tour may feature in score updates and discussion without its current event being broadcast live. For a specific tournament, the program schedule, not just the station’s name, is the deciding check.
How to Tune In to Golf on SiriusXM
Step 1: Confirm Your Listening Lineup
- Open SiriusXM’s PGA Tour Radio channel page and check the listening setup shown near the top.
- If it doesn’t match your setup, select Edit beside the displayed listening option, such as “Streaming & Most Radios.”
- Use Discover Channel Guide for your selected device or lineup to confirm the station’s channel assignment.
This matters because the Sirius and XM receiver lineups do not always use identical channel numbers. Match the guide to the radio you’re actually using rather than assuming every SiriusXM receiver has the same lineup.
Step 2: Select SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio
- On a satellite receiver, select channel 92 for the XM/most-radios lineup or channel 208 for the Sirius lineup. – In the SiriusXM app, search for SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio and select the live channel rather than an individual show or podcast.
Searching by the full station name is useful in the app because you don’t need to work out which satellite-radio lineup your car uses.
Step 3: Start Playback and Save the Station
- Start the channel and confirm that golf programming plays. Check the station name on the display where available.
- Save it as a preset or favorite if your receiver or app offers that option.
You now have a direct way back to the golf station without looking up its channel number again.
Why the Golf Channel May Be Missing
If direct tuning brings up a different station, first check whether the channel guide is set to the correct receiver lineup. A number intended for another lineup is not a reliable way to identify the golf station.
If you have matched the guide to your device and still cannot listen, distinguish between these situations:
- The station is absent from your available channels. Check whether your subscription includes it and whether it is available on that receiver.
- The station appears but is locked or unavailable. Ask SiriusXM support to confirm access for your subscription and device.
- The app works, but the car radio does not. Check the car radio’s access separately; successful streaming does not establish what that receiver can receive.
After any account or access issue is resolved, select the station again and play the audio to confirm it works. Avoid repeatedly trying unrelated channel numbers when the station’s name is already correct.
How to Check Whether Live Golf Is On
Open the current program schedule on SiriusXM’s PGA Tour Radio page and look for a tournament broadcast. A listing such as PGA Tour Live, accompanied by a description identifying live event coverage, is different from a golf talk show, interview, or “best of” program.
Before planning your listening, check:
- The event: Does the listing identify the tournament you want?
- The date: Is it the round or day you intend to hear?
- The broadcast window: What start time and time zone does the listing display?
- The program type: Is it live play-by-play rather than discussion or a replay?
Don’t assume the radio broadcast begins when the first players tee off. The listed broadcast window determines when live coverage is available.
If you tune in and hear a talk show, that does not necessarily mean you have the wrong channel. Tune in at the tournament broadcast’s scheduled start.
