PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – History will be made on a number of fronts this week at the 78th U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The venue, of course, is the most significant first. While six U.S. Opens have been contested at Pebble, this week marks the time the women will have their turn at a major on this American treasure.
It’s only fitting then that the television coverage of an historic event makes its own mark. Early week, Golf Channel will produce a record 25 hours of “Live From the U.S. Women’s Open” studio coverage on a set just off the 18th fairway.
NBC will feature 12 hours of weekend coverage July 8-9, giving the women prime time network coverage for the first time in championship history.
