Is it still on cuz for me, CNBC IS just showing shark tank.

@Golfingdad, it's on NBCSN. If it's not in your channel lineup, it's streaming online somewhere.

Great 1st win for Berger, Congrats Danny!

 

[Scotsclaff]

Well done Berger.

Some round from DJ to finish,63.

Great win by Berger but I don't like watching his swing.  I'm pretty disappointed at how CBS and GC handled the broadcast.  I get that CBS was in a rush to cover the Orlando shooting during their 6:00 news but did they really have to move it again for the Shark Tank marathon?   It's hard to believe reruns of Shark Tank generate more revenue than a live sporting event.

CBS is really struggling with Golf, IMO. Nantz and Faldo are good when they do the telecast, but they really lost a lot with Feherty leaving and now Lundquist is retiring. McCord, Baker-Finch and Nobilo are horrible. Finch and Nobilo more boring than anything, and McCord is just not funny. I just wish they'd hand off all the golf to NBC. Interesting to see how Fox does this week.

I agree on McCord, he tried to be funny a couple of times this weekend and he was the only one laughing at his jokes.  They need some fresh blood or should just give it up.

It was NBC broadcasting this weekend, not CBS.

Not for me, I watched it on CBS, and then switched to CBS Sports Live.

The final round ended up on CNBC and NBCSN, but that was because of a convergence of factors.

• Rain pushed the final round outside of CBS' broadcast window, and the combination of news coverage of the Orlando shooting, 60 Minutes, and the Tony Awards, the network telecast could not run long. CBS has a cable sports channel, but the Golf Channel has exclusive live cable broadcast rights to PGA Tour events; Golf Channel is in more homes than CBS Sports Network, anyway.
• Extended coverage usually continues on Golf Channel after the network signs off, but Golf Channel couldn't pick up the broadcast, since they were live at the final round of the Women's PGA Championship.
• If Golf Channel can't pick up the broadcast, NBCSN does; however, they couldn't pick up the broadcast at 7:00, either, since they were required to air the Stanley Cup Finals pre-game show.
• Finally, if all else fails, live sports that have nowhere else to air on NBC-owned channels is relegated to CNBC, since all they air on weekends are Shark Tank re-runs.

You're right. I was flat out wrong.  I was thinking about the channel switching after the regular broadcast, and I should have checked before posting.
