About Whatchan Golf
Your independent UK guide to golf on television — what channel it's on, when to watch, results, rankings, and in-depth guides to the sport.
What is Whatchan Golf?
Whatchan Golf is a practical UK resource for golf fans. The site's primary purpose is straightforward: helping UK viewers quickly find out what golf is on television, which channel it is on, and when to watch. From there, we provide the context that makes watching more rewarding — tournament guides, player profiles, major championship histories, scoring explainers, and more.
Whatchan Golf is part of the Whatchan network — a collection of sport-specific microsites built on the same practical, viewer-first philosophy. The network covers darts, snooker, boxing, rugby, and other sports alongside golf.
We are not affiliated with any broadcaster, tour, or governing body. Whatchan Golf is an independent editorial site.
Our Mission
Practical first.
The number one question we answer is: what channel is golf on right now? Our TV Guide gives a clear, up-to-date answer. Everything else flows from there.
Beyond the TV listings, we aim to give viewers the context to understand and enjoy what they are watching. A new fan who discovers golf through a Ryder Cup or Masters broadcast deserves a clear explanation of what they are seeing — the scoring system, the format, the history, the key players. That is what the Learn Golf section, major championship guides, and player profiles are for.
We aim to be accurate, timely, and genuinely useful — not to fill pages with filler content. If something is uncertain or time-sensitive, we say so.

About Whatchan
Whatchan was founded by Adrian Dane with a simple idea: sport fans deserve a clean, fast, no-nonsense way to find out what is on TV. The Whatchan network has grown to cover multiple sports, each with its own dedicated microsite built on the same principles.
Content Standards
We take accuracy seriously. Tournament results, player records, and historical facts are verified against official sources before publication. Where we are uncertain about a fact — particularly around recent events — we say so clearly rather than presenting uncertain information as confirmed.
Broadcaster information is inherently time-sensitive. TV schedules for golf can change, especially for live events where rain delays, extended play, or schedule adjustments are common. We always recommend confirming times and channels directly with the broadcaster — Sky Sports and BBC Sport both publish up-to-date schedules on their websites and apps.
World rankings are approximate. The Official World Golf Ranking is updated weekly — for the current ranking list, visit owgr.com.
