We live in perilous times whereby sporting events no longer are shown on network tv channels for everyone to have a chance to see.     Now, the Open Championship will no longer be shown LIVE on ABC.    That is too bad!!      You are correct, Chris Berman takes away from any golf broadcast .    TNT did an excellent coverage of the Open Championship when they had the rights to broadcast it.  

Although The Open can be a real bore to watch ( when Tiger is not in the field) ( mainly because the announcers are so dull, the play slow, and weather outlook so dreary) I totally look forward to it because of the time of day we watch it here. broadcasts start approx 6pm and go through the evening. Tell me what could be better than sitting at home in a comfy chair when it is cool outside, wine glass in hand and watching Tiger play!!! ( well of course actually being there would be better, but you get my point!) Kongo

lol - well, here on the east coast of the USA, we'll be curled up in our pj's, with our coffee, in the air conditioning, watching at O dark hundred!!!   I think I prefer your schedule!  

O dark hundred--that's some funny stuff DK---LOL. Never heard that before.

And I would prefer your schedule to mine, here on the Left Coast.

;-))

Directv gives special coverage to big sports events, and the Brit Open is no exception, with about six channels simultaneously, two feature groups, and probably two special holes, main network feed, and a mix channel so you can see all six at the same time and jump around. So, if you have satellite, enjoy!!!!!!

Now I wish I had satellite.

:-(((

me too, Paul. I have my laptop with the featured groups, headsets with PGAtour network, TV, and iphone all open at the same time.... can't miss any of those, when TW is playing...lol

you will be our very own resident journalist with instant updates as they happen.  Can't wait til this all gets started.  Hopefully Tiger will show up there on Sunday or so. 

Forget even getting up. I will get up and get a cup of coffee, then lay right back down in bed and watch it LOL. Considering on mornings there, the marquee group usually goes out about 4:20 in the morning.
