The action will kick off on Thursday, May 19 at 8 a.m. ET on ESPN+ with ESPN picking up the action at 10 a.m.
At 1 p.m., ESPN will air its first-ever golf alternate broadcast. The new play-by-play voice of “Monday Night Football” Joe Buck will be joined by ESPN senior golf analyst Michael Collins in this “ManningCast” style presentation. The first telecast is Thursday at 1 p.m. on ESPN, switching to ESPN2 at 2 p.m.
