Broadcast Notes:

·         Four-Day Live Coverage: Golf Channel will air three hours of live coverage Thursday and Friday, followed by early, live coverage Saturday and Sunday.

·         Trackman Featured at Ridgewood: TrackMan, a production feature that measures the speed, distance and trajectory of a golf shot, will be on display on holes 9 and 15 at Ridgewood Country Club.  On the par-3 15^th hole, Trackman also will measure the “target ball speed,” of players’ tee shots.  After players hit their tee shots, the actual ball speed will be shown alongside the target ball speed, giving viewers an idea of tee shots will be short or long of the pin.
