This year’s edition of the Ryder Cup is just about to tee off. This time around, the American and European teams take their talents across the pond to play on the Centenary Course at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. This is a course that golf legend Jack Nicklaus designed himself.

To help you follow the action, we’ve put together this simple viewing guide on how to watch the 2014 Ryder Cup online. NBC and the Golf Channel are geared up to broadcast every moment of the tournament. However, since it takes place in Scotland, U.S. fans have no choice but to catch the tournament in the wee hours of the morning. If you refuse to sacrifice sleep to watch golf, you should know that both networks plan to re-air the action during normal hours each day (repeat broadcast times are listed below).

How to watch the 2014 Ryder Cup online

Network sites

NBC and the Golf Channel

NBC and the Golf Channel, both of which are owned by Comcast, control 100 percent of the broadcasting rights to the 2014 Ryder Cup. The Golf Channel takes the reins during Friday’s coverage, while NBC handles the bulk of the coverage during Day Two and Day Three on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

On both Day Two and Day Three, the Golf Channel plans to air its own accompanying broadcast for NBC called “Alternate Shot.” This broadcast differs slightly from the traditional coverage on NBC, and will have golf legend David Feherty, and Golf Channel host Gary Williams serve as the commentators.

Questionable streaming sites

There are a wide variety of online streaming sites which grant access to many live sporting events. These sites provide multiple streams, but most of them come packed with spam, malware, and pop-ups. We don’t recommend these sites.

Sites like First Row Sports or VIPBox Sports are some of the most popular picks when it comes to watching streams of sporting events online. While these might be of use, the hassle of having to avoid spam and deal with low quality streams makes these services more of an inconvenience than a help.

As a rule of thumb, never click on any link which asks you to download any HD Players, update your streaming software, or install any “required” media players. These are often just spam links which could infect your computer with malware.

Other resources

Ryder Cup and Golf subreddits

An incredible resource for information about almost anything, Reddit has more than enough Ryder Cup and golf information to satisfy any fan of the sport. Reddit’s loyal user base generates the site’s wealth of content, which is both a blessing, and a curse. You’ll find a slew of Ryder Cup pictures, videos, and even alternative streaming sites.

While Reddit is an excellent resource for anything and everything about golf, you can easily waste many hours poking around the rest of the site as well. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

AMD’s canceled GPU could have crushed Nvidia
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.

For months now, we've been hearing rumors that AMD gave up on its best graphics card from the upcoming RDNA 4 lineup, and instead opted to target the midrange segment. However, that doesn't mean that such a GPU was never in the works. Data mining revealed that the card may indeed have been planned, and if it was ever released, it would've given Nvidia's RTX 4090 a run for its money.

The top GPU in question, commonly referred to as Navi 4C or Navi 4X, was spotted in some patch information for AMD's GFX12 lineup -- which appears to be a code name for RDNA 4. The data was then posted by Kepler_L2, a well-known hardware leaker, on Anandtech forums. What at first glance seems to be many lines of code actually reveals the specs of the reportedly canceled graphics card.

Here’s even more proof that AMD’s GPUs are in trouble

AMD's upcoming plan for GPU releases have been called into question recently, and now, there's some more evidence that the company's GPUs are beginning to lose momentum.

As pointed out by Hardware Unboxed on X (formerly Twitter), MSI is slowly removing listings of AMD Radeon GPUs, specifically the 7000 series, from online retailers. Additionally, all existing products have been discontinued and the company never managed to release models for the Radeon RX 7700 XT and the 7800 XT.

You’ll never guess what this YouTuber built into a PC this time
A woman stands next to a custom-built gaming PC with a coffee maker inside.

There are gaming PCs, and there are coffee makers -- and the two do not mix. After all, who would want boiling hot coffee inside their high-end gaming desktop? The idea alone makes me shiver, but Nerdforge's Martina was brave enough to come up with this project and create a fully custom-built PC that doesn't just run, but it also makes coffee at the press of a button.

Nerdforge is a YouTube channel run by a Norwegian couple, Martina and Hansi, who dabble in all sorts of innovative crafts. And it's safe to say that this falls under that category. The project started with an idea: What if, instead of having to get up to fetch a cup of coffee, you could have a coffee maker installed right inside your PC?
