I guess the CW has nothing to lose. There's nobody in the UK signed up for this yet. Sky is in bed with the PGA, and BT Sport is now part of a deal with Eurosport, owned by Warner Bros Discovery who have PGA deals elsewhere. So they're off the table. That doesn't really leave anyone else - at least not with a noticeable footprint. In any case, golf has diminished as a popular sport in the UK with no live events on free TV at all. Even the Open and Ryder Cup only get highlights coverage on free TV. I confess that Arlo White went down a lot in my estimation when he took the Saudi $$$ to become lead commentator for the tour. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
