Dell Technologies Championship: How to watch live on Sky Sports

Rory McIlroy defends his title at this week’s Dell Technologies Championship, with extended coverage live on Sky Sports.

McIlroy returns to TPC Boston looking to replicate last year's victory over Paul Casey, the first of two wins for the Northern Irishman during the 2016 FedExCup play-offs on his way to claiming the $10m jackpot.

The Northern Irishman heads into the second of four play-off events in the 44th in the FedExCup standings, with only the top 70 after this week progressing through to the BMW Championship.

The live Featured Group service begins from 1.30pm on the red button and the Sky Sports iPad app for the first two rounds, ahead of full live coverage from 8pm on the Sky Sports Golf channel.

The three players at the top of the FedExCup standings kick off Friday's offering, with last week's Northern Trust champion Dustin Johnson joined by Jordan Spieth and PGA champion Justin Thomas.

Saturday's coverage begins with those ranked fourth to sixth in the list, with Jon Rahm and Rickie Fowler playing alongside world No 3 Hideki Matsuyama.

There will be an extra additional threeball covered during the first two rounds, with those groups decided via a Twitter poll on the PGA Tour's account.
