What happens

Golf coverage on ABC has been a regular feature of the television sports channel's programming since 1962. ABC broadcast at least one PGA Tour event from 1962 to 2009, focusing before 1995 on the majors, with ABC serving as the primary television partner of the PGA Tour from 1999 until 2006. From July 12, 1962 to July 19, 2009, ABC served as the American broadcast home of The Open Championship. The British Open on ABC was the longest-running entertainment program in ABC's history and the last-surviving ABC program to debut in the "circle a" era. ABC also held the broadcast rights of the US Open from 1966 through 1994. and the PGA Championship from 1965 until 1990. Golf has returned to ABC in recent years with coverage of the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship on the LPGA Tour from 2015 to 2018, coverage of the World Champions Cup in 2023, and coverage of TMRW Golf League in 2025.
