How to watch the US Open from anywhere
Golf fans traveling away from home can keep up with their usual viewing methods with the aid of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy apps that allow people to temporarily alter their virtual location so their usual websites and apps work just like they would back home. They're also instant ways to improve cybersecurity and privacy. Since the services we've highlighted require US methods of payment, this option will work best for those who are simply traveling abroad right now.
