The Golf Channel is available in the United States, Canada and a few nations in Asia through Cable Television, satellite, and wireless transmissions. This Channel is devoted to a game that respects rules and clearly defines what is inbounds and what is out of bounds. The GOLF CHANNEL is the exclusive cable home of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour, and the exclusive television home of the Nationwide Tour, European Tour and Canadian Tour. All the commentators, particularly the instructors, on the Golf Channel actually know what they’re talking about, and no one on the Golf Channel is identified by the phony and meaningless title of ”Terrorism Expert.

The Golf Channel employs more than 330 people in its Orlando, FL corporate headquarters and studios.This Channel is available in more than 90 million homes worldwide through cable, satellite and wireless companies. It features a programming schedule that includes more live golf coverage than any other network – an extensive blend of golf competition from around the world – as well as news, instruction and original productions, such as the popular Big Break series. In addition to being the exclusive television home of the Nationwide Tour, European Tour and Canadian Tour, The Golf Channel is the exclusive cable home of the Champions Tour and televises other competition from the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, USGA, PGA of America, PGA Tour of Australasia and Sunshine Tour of Southern Africa.

PGA Tournament spokesman Frank Quinn said the decision to go with The Golf Channel had nothing to do with saving money, and everything to do with the enthusiasm and support The Golf Channel had shown in recent years.

Sports Illustrated writes: “The Golf Channel: The little network that could, kicked off its 15-year deal with a surprisingly seamless series of telecasts, highlighted by some flashy new technology and great chemistry among the announcers.

The Golf Channel is really growing into its own with the golf coverage it offers, especially with the PGA Tour events.
