The American Family Insurance Championship 2024 is back for its eighth edition! The Wisconsin-based event is set to take place from June 7th to 9th. This year holds special significance as it will be the last time the event is held at the University Ridge Golf Course. All seven previous editions have taken place at this venue since its inception in 2016.

Starting from 2025, the event will find its new home at TPC Wisconsin, redesigned by none other than Steve Stricker, one of the event’s founders and the tournament host. The move is attributed to TPC Wisconsin’s capability to easily accommodate large crowds. Here’s how you can tune in to catch the three-day charity event at the University of Wisconsin’s home course from the comfort of your home, savoring the final moments of the AmFam Championship at its traditional venue.

The first round on Friday won’t be available for live viewing from home. The broadcast will air after the event has concluded. It will be tape-delayed and aired between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. CST. Fortunately, the other two rounds will be broadcast live. The Saturday and Sunday rounds will be televised from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST on respective days.
