Ryder Cup Programming Schedule Changes

Due to the heavy rains in Wales today, the Ryder Cup has had to adjust its schedule. In addition, it means instead of ridiculous tape delays, it means we’ll have live golf all weekend, provided we don’t have more weather delays. ESPN will kick off coverage on Saturday, hand off to NBC which will go to the conclusion. And on Sunday, NBC will be live all day. Here’s the revised schedule as provided by NBC.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: RYDER CUP WEATHER DELAY CHANGES

NEW YORK – October 1, 2010 – PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to weather delays at the 2010 Ryder Cup from Wales, following is the updated programming schedule for Saturday and Sunday:
