According to the website, PGA Tour Live will be included and available to all Prime members.

Edited: WAIT. I think I am reading incorrectly. I think you have to have a PGA Tour Live subscription to access or if just a Prime member, you get featured holes on the weekends.
I think it means the PGA tour gets a discount on their cloud server service for partnering with Amazon to get people to buy and use the PGA Tour live subscription through Amazon instead of accessing via a standalone app or other means.PGA Tour partners with Amazon Web Services to improve how fans view future, past tournaments
The PGA Tour has partnered with Amazon Web Services to improve how fans view future and past tournaments.news.yahoo.com
So, what does this new partnership mean for fans?
AWS will power Every Shot Live, an app that will provide viewers live access to every shot from every player in a tournament. Using the upcoming Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass as an example, fans will be able to see more than 32,000 shots and follow players in real time.
Fans will also be able to control their viewing experience with AWS’ TOURCast, a new, innovative leaderboard that will provide new camera angles, course navigation, speed rounds and on-demand stats.
AWS will also assist the First Tee in developing an online community for its teachers and youth leaders in order to grow the program.
The Tour will also move “nearly 100 years of media content to AWS – including video, audio, and images dating back to the 1928 Los Angeles Open” into a data lake, where live footage from future tournaments will also be streamed.
“The partnership and experience we create with the Tour will be unique,” said AWS CEO Andy Jassy. “Unlike other sports, there’s more than one ball in play on a golf course, which makes it harder for fans to follow how every player is performing. Our collaboration with the Tour will change the way that fans will be able to connect with the sport by giving them real-time access to virtually every moment on the course and letting them determine how they experience the game.”

Is this taking the place of PGATL? Co-existing but separate? The PGATL through Amazon Prime has been there a while. The Thursday - Sunday coverage doesn't seem any different than what I already have with my sub.
Yeah, I am hoping they see the same incentive theory with the NFL ticket and making that part of prime.I think it means the PGA tour gets a discount on their cloud server service for partnering with Amazon to get people to buy and use the PGA Tour live subscription through Amazon instead of accessing via a standalone app or other means.
Seems like more incentive to use Amazon.
Agreed need more Thursday and Friday golf moreso than weekend coverage...but oh well maybe some morning golf.I was pretty excited about this, but it sounds like the pairing doesn't really change anything for me.
Which is oh well whatever.
I'm tuned in every week and grateful the price is only what it is for PGA Tour Live.Agreed need more Thursday and Friday golf moreso than weekend coverage...but oh well maybe some morning golf.
Deciding whether it's worth it ... I don't get to watch a lot of golf live outside of Thurs and Friday when it's on in the office.I'm tuned in every week and grateful the price is only what it is for PGA Tour Live.
I get that not everyone loves it, but for me it's great especially in the early rounds. Moving forward I am going to grab a second antenna for the house so I can actually watch the Sunday coverage on local and that solves basically any problem (minus the sketchy commentary but whatever haha)
That's what it's looking like. Actually something of a relief to me, as we'd cancelled Prime and I'd prefer to leave it cancelled.This sounds great, although it’s already seeming like the fine print shows it isn’t all that it seems.
Our solution to that is we simply do without.I am getting pretty sick of being extorted for everything..
Very true.. I have a live account. I tend to watch that more than the weekends as the weekends are usually busy. it would be cool if like the prime account states that you can re watch old stuff etc..That's what it's looking like. Actually something of a relief to me, as we'd cancelled Prime and I'd prefer to leave it cancelled.
Our solution to that is we simply do without.
I wanted to be able to watch PGA tournaments on Thursday and Friday like I can on broadcast TV on Saturday and Sunday, except the entire tournaments. Turns out the only way to do that is as part of an expensive package deal that includes a bunch of stuff we neither want nor need.
So I simply won't watch--except what I can see on Saturday and Sunday afternoons *shrug* Not the end of the world
Ditto . Was hoping for the best, thought it would be nice to at least watch some Friday golf, on my office days, but nope!I was pretty excited about this, but it sounds like the pairing doesn't really change anything for me.

I still subscribe to PGA Tour Live and absolutely feel good about it (and don't even have cable haha).Ditto . Was hoping for the best, thought it would be nice to at least watch some Friday golf, on my office days, but nope!
