November 16, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuideTom Those looking for a links fix today might end up entering spectator rehab next week after Golf Channel and NBC combine to air more than 50 hours of live coverage of The Presidents Cup from Australia. Taking place at the Royal Melbourne in Australia, this is the first time ever this international competition — which runs every two years and alternates with the Ryder Cup — will be televised live in its entirety when taking place outside of North America. Australia is 16 hours ahead of the Eastern Time zone, so Day 1 coverage begins […]

Golf Channel’s “Big Break Ireland” comes down to final three

November 15, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuideTom With the President’s Cup getting underway in a few days, we thought a great way to get in the proper frame of mind is by watching the best sports reality show on television. Some might classify Golf Channel’s Big Break series (tonight, 9pm ET) as simply a sports competition, and that is certainly understandable. Every week the athletes are put through the toughest of tests, including playing full holes, hitting strategic shots and pulling off gimmick tricks like breaking a piece of glass with a golf ball.

FedEx Cup fills void for golfers and fans

August 25, 2011 Tom Comi

One of the reasons the NCAA basketball tournament is so popular is because of its one-and-done format. You win, you advance; you lose, you go home. And even though golf is an individual sport, the FedEx Cup is giving links professionals and fans a similar experience. The FedEx Cup is a four-tournament playoff that takes place over four consecutive weeks. It starts today with the top 125 golfers participating in The Barclays. Golf Channel will handle the live coverage from New Jersey’s Plainfield Country Club today and Friday (3pm ET) before CBS takes over Saturday (3pm ET) and Sunday (2pm […]

2011 PGA Championship TV schedule

August 10, 2011 Ryan Berenz

Golf’s best head to Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Ga., for the year’s final major beginning Thursday, Aug. 11. Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson, Graeme McDowell are among the contenders to take home the Wanamaker trophy and end the season on a high note. Kaymer (pictured) won last year’s tournament in a playoff against Bubba Watson, but the big story was Dustin Johnson grounding his club in a bunker (or was it?) that cost him a two-stroke penalty and a spot in the playoff. TNT and CBS share coverage of this year’s […]

Tiger’s return should drive PGA ratings

August 4, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide There are very few people who can dramatically increase television ratings by their mere presence, and Tiger Woods is one of those people. And when the links legend returns to the tour this week, you will hear a collective sigh from TV executives and golf fans alike. Woods has been out for the past four weeks while rehabilitating several leg injuries, and it would be an understatement to say he has been missed. Golf enthusiasts will always watch tournaments regardless of the field, but the fact of the matter is Tiger’s participation in an event […]
