As every pro is eager to book their place in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, fans can witness some great action in the competitive seniors tournament. So how can they watch the tournament? Let’s find out.

How to watch the 2024 Simmons Bank Championship?

The 2024 Simmons Bank Championship event is being played at the Pleasant Valley Country Club. The 72-par golf course at the club offers many challenging holes that can lead to some brilliant plays. The event will be played for a total prize money of $2.3 million with the winner bagging $365,000.

With plenty to play for, everyone can assume that the players will be in their element to ensure they overcome their adversaries. Fans can anticipate some great action throughout the 3 days of the event. The event has already begun and we have seen some great action in the first round. But there is still a lot left to play for as the leaderboard is constantly changing.

The 2024 Simmons Bank Championship can be watched live on the Golf Channel from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. E.T.

Vijay Singh is currently dominating the leaderboard but that could change by the time you read this. But whom will he be looking out for in the tournament? Let’s take a glance at the rest of the leaderboard.

Best of the best fighting for the top spot

Other than the 34-time PGA Tour winner, Simgh, we are also seeing some great strokeplay from Jason Caron. Relatively unknown in the PGA Tour, Caron has the opportunity to become famous overnight and nearly double his overall career winnings if he wins the 2024 Simmons Bank Championship.

Another senior pro that Singh will be aware of is Steven Alker. Alker is tied with Caron at T2 and is looking to grab his 9th PGA Tour Champions win this time around. With an abundance of experience on the podium, Alker is no stranger to victory and is one of the biggest threats to Singh’s top spot.

The next most imposing danger that Singh might be aware of comes from Miguel Angel Jiménez. The 60-year-old has had 13 PGA Tour Champions wins throughout his career. He will surely be eager to claim Vijay Singh’s spot and bag another victory in his career with the 2024 Simmons Bank Championship.

While he sits at T28, one cannot underestimate Ernie Els. A legend in golf, Els is capable of covering the 7-stroke difference within a round. Vijay Singh should definitely keep an eye on Els to ensure that the latter doesn’t creep up on him on the leaderboard.
