They get the first two rounds of the Masters, but I saw NBC has the British, Fox had the US Open, CBS has the PGA and the weekend of the Masters..golf channel carries normal pga events before the local stations pick it up. Criticize ESPN all you want, I always enjoyed their coverage when Berman wasn't involved.

If they don't Broadcast it, they don't report on it. Child like.

ESPN doesn't stand to gain much by covering golf in my opinion so it doesn't surprise me they don't have a big stake in it right now

ESPN was at its greatest when this statement wasn't true. What a difference 15 years makes

ESPN pushed all their chips in with College Football.

I'm looking forward to NBC's coverage of the Open.

Terrico, Andy north and SVP are great, berman obviously awful.

Fox just doesn't show enough actual golf.

I'm sure NBC will be good, esp if bob is leading the coverage

I've never had a problem with ESPN when it comes to broadcasting sporting events. They were always my favorite for watching golf. SVP is the man.

I guess I don't remember them covering golf much in the past...

I will say I thought Fox did an immeasurably better job with the US Open than they did last year. Their graphics and ball flight technology is the best in the business.

Andy North and SVP do a solid job. Noticed during the US Open Curtis Strange made the switch to FOX. He's usually with ESPN. With Mike Tirico now at NBC, I wonder who the lead golf analyst would be?

How much clout does CBS have with Augusta for the Masters broadcast? Do they just do whatever AN tells them to do?

Either way, everyone else should just do that. Don't get cute about it, just look at what the Masters does and do that.

To be brief:

None.

Yes.
