2016 BRITISH OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT
July 14, 2016  | By David Bianculli

Golf Channel, 1:30 a.m. ET

 

NBC Universal has reclaimed coverage of a golf major by televising this year’s British Open, which means two things. One: coverage today and tomorrow, of the first two rounds from the Royal Troon golf club in Scotland, begins super-early, at 1:30 a.m. ET on Golf Channel, and runs all day until 4 p.m. ET. Two: coverage will include plenty of promos for NBC’s upcoming Olympics coverage, with lots of mention of golf as an Olympic event – but with very little mention of how few pro golfers, at least on the men’s side, are making the trip to Rio.
