The only US programming available in Europe is whatever is rebroadcast on the local or satellite channels. Apparently the difficulty is the curvature of the earth, which makes it impossible to receive signals directly from the satellites in stationary orbit over the US.

But check with whatever cable or satellite companies there are in Spain/Portugal. CanalSat in France has a number of sports stations, including the "exported" version of ESPN. MSNBC also broadcasts lots of golf on the weekends when there is no stock ticker to report on.
Cheers,
Bev

Many English and Irish bars have Setanta Sports which has a dedicated golf channel which I believe shows all PGA events ....

yes setanta is available for domestic sky cards.
in theory you can go and upgrade via setanta web site - the price was £10 per month, but i think it is now £12.99 - an inflation busting 30% price rise!!!!!!!!!
