NBC to broadcast British Open beginning in 2016 [Golfweek]

[nevets88]

I don't mean to sound like a shill for NBC by posting the schedule, but I was wondering what the fallout from the BBC dropping out a year early might be, I'm guessing this is it. It sort of has a triple crown - a Major, the Olympics and the Ryder Cup. I bet Shark is jealous of 63.

Golf Channel and NBC’s coverage of the 2016 British Open will commence 12 weeks of golf coverage, highlighted by:

• British Open (July 14-17)
• Senior British Open (July 21-24)
• Ricoh Women’s British Open (July 28-31)
• Men’s Olympic golf (Aug. 11-14)
• Women’s Olympic golf (Aug. 18-21)
• The Barclays (Aug. 25-28, Golf Channel)
• Deutsche Bank Championship (Sept. 2-5)
• BMW Championship (Sept. 8-11)
• Tour Championship (Sept. 22-25)
• Ryder Cup (Sept. 30-Oct. 2)

Looks like Johnny Miller traded US Open for the (British) Open.

I think Mr. 63 and his crew won't miss a beat by picking up the Open.

As long as its not FOX, I don't care who calls it.  I can take a thousand stories from Johnny Miller about Johnny Miller before I hear Joe Buck call golf again!

Heck, I'd listen to a thousand stories from Johnny Miller about snail racing before I want to hear Joe Buck call golf again.
