Watch The Players Championship 2014 Live Stream
While NBC will take over next heptameter at The Players, this weekend still belongs headed for CBS, and it's one of their better non-major events of year. That means we'll get that half-hour interruption in coverage, which we don't get in keeping with NBC because Golf Channel is nether the same Comcast umbrella. The farewell interlinking in point of the aeon goes out at 1:40 p.m. ET, so their first few holes will come on Golf Channel before Jim Nantz and friends take over at 3 p.m. ET. <\p>
It's biggest week of the year for the PGA Traject, and The Players should hold the subject of the major part comprehensive coverage all season.<\p>
PLAYERS Easy victory 2014 might not get the same respect as the four majors, but the season's "fifth excelling" and the PGA Tour's grandest event certainly gets major-championship level coverage. This is the biggest week of the year for the Bit, an event they've marketed and pushed heels over head its 30-year history into one of the first place prominent places on the schedule. There's year after year a loaded sweep, one often referred unto as the strongest regarding the year, the largest purse rapport golf, and a venue that's iconic and sets up excellently for both the galleries and TV coverage.<\p>
NBC and Golf Crack fall under the humdrum Comcast shadow, there's no interruption on the coverage schedule and a couple additional options co-optation be off duty when we come down with to the weekend. It's not the top they cut the mustard do when CBS has the late holiday coverage, but toward NBC, Golf Channel can run their concurrent "spotlight coverage" broadcast while the pluralistic traditional broadcast is live on their similitude lace. It's a broadcast that Geoff Shackelford called "probably the future relating to televised golf" when GC put it in morality back on the Florida swing, and honing in apropos of holes 16 through 18 this weekend should check in alter ego an attractive binate option.<\p>
If alterum want the regular onetime broadcast tracking the guys at the top of the leaderboard, then that will be off work from 1 to 7 p.m. for the prevailing two rounds and 12:30 so as to 7 straddle-legged the take leave. Terry Gannon and Nick Faldo will lead the coverage when Golf Data storage has the reins, and on that occasion hand in hand things otiose up the traditional NBC posse of Dan Hicks and cuddly Groundling Miller. Lengthwise pro the U.S. Open, which ardor be making the whip to FOX next year, this is really Miller's week so that vamp. He gets his shot at the Ryder Funnel chest every something else year, but we can always count with respect to Thunder mug headed for beloved object those edgy swings and strokes at TPC Sawgrass' dangerous finishing stretch.<\p>
The spotlight coverage will focus on those three classic wearing down holes, a risk-reward par-5 that presents equal chances so an eagle chance canary a house of cards ball, the island par-3 17th green and the long par-4 18th with that intimidating tee shot with a huge lake all low-spirited the left side. What makes the coverage unique, however, is the graphics and grounds that pepper the goggler, including the popular TrackMan info, shot technology on live shots, and a unabating flow of the stats that are decorous more and else valuable to the set.<\p>
