I always wonder why the golf channel doesn't televise the portions of the majors and/or big tournaments that aren't covered by the big networks. Anyone golf fan would watch the heck out of it.
Networks pay for the exclusive rights to air sporting events. If CBS and ESPN have the rights to something, the Golf Channel cannot air it.
I know. It'd be nice if the golf channel could buy the coverage the big network isn't airing. That's all I was getting at.
It happens all the time...high winds are worse...tomorrow and Sunday will level out though, except for a Moving Day morning charge or two.
Not on Thursday or Friday. Good players tee off all different times and the leaders on Friday may go off early.Apple Jack said:
I'm talking early in the wave. The cable networks for Majors (Masters excepted) are typically going live in time to catch some of the marquee guys from the morning wave. The tee times are made with input from TV. Plus, now with the websites covering featured groups and multiple holes, there's more than enough golf to watch.
Tiger Woods isn't walking through that door anytime soon and if he does it will be as an old, broken down man. Day probably had the longest Tiger-like streak of any of the top players and he has now started to cool off.
I think I heard one of the announcers mentioning when they showed an odd guy towards the end of the broadcast referring to him as '#155' and them saying that they had shown every player in The Open. Two days and 15 hours or so of air time, I would hope they could do that!!
I miss Tiger and await his triumphant return.
