As the summer golf season hits full stride, the stars of the PGA Tour Champions are gearing up for one of their marquee events: the 2025 Kaulig Companies Championship. Set to take place June 19–22 at the iconic Firestone Country Club (South Course) in Akron, Ohio, this major championship will see many of the game’s greats vying for a $3.5 million purse, with a cool $525,000 going to the winner. This year’s tournament comes with plenty of intrigue. Defending champion Ernie Els returns to a venue where he captured his first senior major last year.

Adding to the excitement, Ángel Cabrera is chasing an unprecedented third consecutive senior major victory, and Miguel Ángel Jiménez tops the season-long points race with multiple wins already in 2025. The South Course at Firestone — a par-70 beast stretching about 7,400 yards — promises to test the best with its narrow fairways, thick rough, and challenging greens. With such a stacked field and compelling storylines, fans won’t want to miss a moment of the action. So, where can you watch this thrilling event unfold?
