I was hoping that ABC woudl have the Sat/Sun coverage, but alas they do not. This is bery bad form for ABC. I don't ever recall a major golf tournament ever being covered exclusively by a cable outlet. I don't have internet access that is reliable enough to hook the computer up to the TV so I'm stuck. Thanks a lot ABC... boneheaded decision made to do this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-66626849932321800942010-07-17T08:41:29.224-04:002010-07-17T08:41:29.224-04:00this is an absolute joke!!!

If anyone knows of ABC coverage, please let us know and include a link. I couldn't find ABC coverage, except, perhaps, something that appears to be a highlight show.<br /><br />Follow this link for more info:<br />http://tinyurl.com/2dyouyrThe Armchair Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086916747302169325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-19484839441504268622010-07-16T08:25:58.943-04:002010-07-16T08:25:58.943-04:00ABC is offering coverage on Saturday and Sunday af...ABC is offering coverage on Saturday and Sunday afternoons according to my listings.

It's always been ABC and now, their partner, ESPN.
