It is US Open week and that means a lively forum thread as well as what some consider must see TV. It is the third major of the year after a bit of a reshuffle and Torrey Pines should be a great visual backdrop for the tournament.
Lots of interesting stories are out there this week. Can Phil Mickelson do the improbably and not only complete the Grand Slam, but win back to back majors at his age? Can Bryson repeat as champion?
It will all unfold beginning Thursday but the question is will you be watching? And diving in deeper, how much Major Championship golf do you watch each tournament?
I watch about 85% of all the majors. Every bit of Sunday action. Most of Saturday and then most feature coverage and will loosely follow feature groups.
On an average week I probably tune into 25% of the tournament
Can’t put a number on it, but as much as I am able to. I allow life and family to get in the way (maybe in a few more years I won’t). As much as I like the US Open, and normally place it well above the PGA, this years PGA venue – combined with penal nature of the rough at US Opens and all the player whining about it, make me less inclined to watch it – BUT, I’d still watch as much as I am able. I hope that the players don’t try the drive and gouge – or at least that it’s not successful this time.
I will likely watch about 1 hour each day Thurs and Fri of featured group coverage. On the weekend I will likely catch a couple hours of Sunday and the final 9 holes for the leaders on Sunday. That’s about my maximum for watching.
A fair amount Thursday to Saturday then I sit down to watch the entirety of the last group’s final round on a Sunday ?.
All of the Open Championship, almost all of the US Open, the majority of the PGA and about half of the Masters.
Will I be watching – No
How much do I watch of the Majors – maybe some of The Open but that is about it unless I record some highlights to watch at a later date
I really wish this was on streaming early without premium. I use PGA Live and with Major I would watch 100% Thursday and Friday and Sunday… Saturday would be spotty depending on the activities of the day and weather.
ALL OF IT unless I have a tee time. I’ll run it in the background during work hours on Thursday and Friday and then get it rolling early on Saturday and Sunday, but I don’t let it interrupt time with friends and family.
I watch the PGA every Thursday through Sunday (usually recorded and fast forward through the commercials). I will catch the hilites of the LPGA also if I am bored.
I have it on from day one. It is easy to watch when working from home!
I try to watch as much as possible.
I’ll be driving on Sunday, so I’ll miss a good bit of this one.
Pretty much, unless I’m golfing, I’m watching.
Both opens and the masters I’ll make a point to watch. Particularly on the weekend. Most other golf I catch if I don’t have anything else going on
I like to watch them all and I like to watch as much as I can but I probably only get about 75% of the broadcasts watched.
As much as I can. Even in my hiatus from golf, I would tune in for Sunday’s of majors. Now that i’m fully immersed in golf, I’ll be streaming as much as I can. I will be recording Saturday for viewing post AZTHP action.
The past 5 years I have watched a lot more golf. I make it a habit to record Saturday and Sunday and put on the first 2 rounds in the background if I am home. I am more interested in the courses, than the actual play, but they go hand in hand. Wifi out by the pool with the 4th round playing and a cold drink.
Hoping to watch at least a good portion of the final round. I usually have a lot going on during weekends so I will watch however much fits in.
My favorite major is the Open though, and the morning timing allows me to catch most of the weekend play without burning the entire day.
I will watch a lot this week since it hits primetime. Gives me time to do my business during the day and set down and relax with golf in the evening. I love West Coast golf.
I tend to watch the Major’s more than regular Tour events. I don’t know the time length though. I tend to watch The Master’s the most, then either Open and the least being the PGA.
I golf on Fridays and Saturdays, so I either DVR those days or watch the rebroadcast in the evening. Thursday I usually watch most of the TV coverage, Sunday is usually start to finish. The Open is probably the one I watch the least of, just because of the time zone differences.
I don’t subscribe to any of the online streaming services, so if it’s not on Golf Channel, ESPN, or network TV, I’m not watching it.
[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]I watch as much of the majors as I possibly can. [/COLOR]
I want to watch all of it but it is hard. I hardly watched any of the PGA. The Masters is the one I watched the most of.
I’ll easily watch double the coverage for a major vs a standard event. And that’s primarily because majors are more available through apps then standard events. I don’t have PGA live, so usually I start watching around 3 eastern with Golf Channel coverage on Thrs and Fri, and most events I will watch sparingly on Sat and then tune in Sunday for the final round. With majors I am locked in through the various apps watching feature groups or certain holes from the word go and then the regular coverage once it starts all 4 days. If I’m golfing on the weekend, it’s early to be home in time for tv coverage.
I hate to say, but it really depends on my schedule for the week.
I like to watch all the majors if available time-wise at work depending on my schedule in the office. Many times I have the round playing in the background even when not watching.
As for the weekends, I usually like to get a few hours for each day, but again depends on my family schedule. For example, this weekend is Father’s Day. I generally am doing family things on Sunday and if the weather is good will be outside and not see much.
As much as I possibly can
I’m usually locked in pretty good to all the majors and the Ryder Cup.
I used to watch every televised bit of all four majors, but now I’ll usually watch some of the first two rounds while working at home, little or none of Saturday’s action, then try to watch all of the final round.
I watch them all, every year. I even watched Phil with the PGA while on my honeymoon this year.
I only miss them if I’m traveling, or if I’m in a tournament that weekend, however, I record them to watch them later.
Since the Open is on the west coast I will watch more of it than usual. Love prime-time golf.
I watch every televised second of all the majors but I most often watch later off the DVR. I try to watch the final round in closer to real time so as to avoid spoilers.
Some Saturday if I have time to sit down and all of Sunday
A lot but not all. I watched prime time last night and will watch some today. Will be on all day tomorrow. I try to do the same with all majors.
Viewing all depends on the weather. If it’s storming or so hot/muggy it feels like death when you step outdoors then I’ll probably be watching. If it’s nice outside then I’ll be outside as well and I won’t be watching.
I’ve watched zero of the US Open, mainly due to the Euros being on. That said, I watch very little golf these days anyway. The Masters is the exception. When I lived in the UK, most major and PGA tour coverage was in the evenings. I watched far more golf then. Without exception, I’d far rather be playing than watching.
As much as possible. Sometimes it’s a binge fest.
I’ll watch any tournament on TV. So I especially pay attention to the majors.
I try to watch every minute of it. If I am at home it’s on tell the end of the broadcast.

Majors are, other the the Ryder/Presidents Cup, the only tournament golf that I watch. I usually pretty well clear out my weekends for the majors and just sit in front of the TV all weekend. After all, the majors are the only golf that really matters.
Around work as much as possible and it is easier to catch part on phone etc. I love the BO as get up early and can catch blocks of time before work or early on weekends.
As much as I possibly can! Although the online feed from the US Open was a little disappointing. You could only watch the featured group, or at least that’s what I was able to do. The Masters online feed is far superior.
LOVE to watch the majors, Did not watch too much of the US OPEN, boring……spent time with the bestest half after being out of town for a week and just getting things done around the house….did go kayaking on Sunday though
All of them.
I used to not care about the pga but now the usga has so f*cked up the courses that as much as i love the us open i more prefer the pga. Still love the open and masters watch as much as i can.
I usually watch nearly every minute of streaming and live tv on the weekends and consume as much as possible of the afternoon/evening rounds ok Thurs and Friday. Being in Vegas we didn’t watch as much coverage but watched the final round on tv.
For the majors, I watch as much as I can. I will usually watch most of the final rounds provided I have nothing planned on those days.
