Tune into channels 701 to once again see the “PGA Mix” which will have four screens in one offering different views of the 91st PGA Tournament. This year’s tournament will be held at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. Channels 702-705 will offer full screen views of the action, all in HD for customers who have HD television sets and receivers. Channel 702 will simulcast the network feed. This year, TNT will be covering the tournament on Thursday, August 13th and Friday the 14th from 2PM until 8PM Eastern time. TNT will also have coverage duties on Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 2PM Eastern. DIRECTV channel 702 will simulcast the CBS coverage from 2PM until 7PM Eastern. Channel 703 will feature coverage of a Marquee group (basically whatever group Tiger Woods is playing in) and follow them around the course. Channel 704 will be the featured hole station, covering players as they head through the four different Par 3‘s at Hazeltine. Finally, channel 705 will have all of the highlights and interviews, keeping you up to the minute on the PGA Championship. The PGA Tournament Mix will be an upgrade over the British Open Mix, which was only available during the opening two rounds this year. Mix coverage also completes the DIRECTV Slam, marking expanded coverage of all four major golf tournaments in 2009.
