Great news! I was wondering about this. Is that eastern time? I'm surprised NBC wouldn't broadcast Friday or Saturday night live for some coverage. Seems like the ratings would be good as long as it is live. But Golf Channel works for me.

It's a Nielsen sweeps period, so I wouldn't expect any prime-time coverage of golf on NBC. But at least it's going to be on live somewhere.

So, now I see it was Golf Channel who forced Couples to pick Tiger for the team

Will Johnny be part of the NBC reporting team? Maybe get a cameo visit from Jack Nicholson, have him announce to the viewership, "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"

In case anyone has forgotten Johnny won the '73 US Open at Oakmont, shooting a 63 in the 4th round.

Johnny hasn't lost his mojo. He's not just good. He's CRAZY good!
