ESPN and CBS will be combining to cover the 2022 PGA Championship, with the ESPN family of networks handling the majority of the linear duties on Thursday and Friday with CBS broadcasting the third and fourth rounds.
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.
If you want to watch the entire tournament, as well as the alternate telecast, what is the best way to do it?
