How to watch The Sentry from anywhere
Golf fans traveling away from home can still keep up with their usual watch options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs allow people to alter the virtual location of their electronic devices so that they work just like they would back home. The services we've recommended require country-specific payment methods, so this option will work best for those who are simply traveling abroad and hoping to keep up with their existing subscriptions.
ExpressVPN is our top recommendation when it comes to easy-to-use virtual private networks. The app has tons of cybersecurity perks, which we break down in our ExpressVPN review, and a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
Note: Using VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
