80 Hours of Live Marquee Action via PGA Championship LIVE's Featured Groups Coverage
Turner Sports will present multiplatform coverage of this year's historic 100th PGA Championship with more than 100 hours of live action across TNT, the PGA Championship suite of digital products and Bleacher Report Live, Turner's new premium live streaming service. TNT's live coverage from Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis will include at least six hours on Thursday and Friday, Aug. 9-10, from 2-8 p.m. ET, along with third and fourth round play on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11-12, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
This marks the 28th consecutive year of Turner Sports coverage of the PGA Championship and TNTs 20th consecutive year televising the event. TNT commentators will include Sports Emmy Award winner Ernie Johnson and fellow host Brian Anderson, analysts Ian Baker-Finch and Billy Kratzert, with Amanda Balionis providing pre- and post-round interviews. Former Masters Champion Trevor Immelman will return as an on-course analyst.
The network's coverage will include three-time NBA Champion and avid golfer Andre Iguodala, who will serve as a special contributor on Friday, August 10.
Special integrations commemorating 100 years of greatness of the PGA Championship are planned across all platforms, including an interactive ultimate bracket challenge highlighting the greatest moments in the storied history of the Championship. Designed by Turner Sports, the online destination - www.pgachampionship.com/pga100 - offers video highlights from the top 16 championships, along with an opportunity for fans to vote on the greatest PGA Championship.
The PGA Championship's official digital platforms, managed by Turner Sports - PGA.com, PGAChampionship.com and the PGA Championship App - will offer extensive coverage of the event including live streaming via PGA Championship LIVE. The Sports Emmy Award-winning video experience will showcase the event's top players via its Featured Group channels. Each day, four marquee pairings will be selected for complete round coverage with two groups in the morning followed by two additional pairings in the afternoon. New for this year, coverage will commence as players prep for their round on the driving range and putting green.
Additionally, PGA Championship LIVE - anchored by Anderson and Brian Katrek, alongside analysts Kratzert and Michael Breed - will offer dedicated live Featured Hole video coverage of Bellerive's three-hole finishing stretch (16, 17 and 18).
Fans can enjoy live streaming coverage of the event on PGA.com and the PGA Championship app, on the Watch TNT app and on participating TV provider platforms and apps. TNT's coverage will require viewers to log in with their user name and password given to them by their TV service provider.
Both daily Featured Groups and the three Featured Holes will also be available for free via B/R Live, Turner's new premium sports OTT product for Android, iOS, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and mobile web.
Following are additional highlights of this year's PGA Championship across multimedia platforms:
