Not a pastime for the faint-hearted, golf can just as easily find you throwing your clubs in the drink as it can find you sinking a hole-in-one (you wish!). Thankfully, tuning in to watch the professionals tee-off is a lot less stressful than hitting the course yourself. With the majority of the big tournaments happening overseas, Aussie golf fans have had to negotiate time zones and coverage times to catch all the action. Thankfully, viewers now have more options to catch their favourite players hit the fairway. In this Canstar Blue guide, find out where to catch all the action of the 2022 golfing year, and how much it will cost you.
