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?
On an average week I probably tune into 25% of the tournament
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’ll be driving on Sunday, so I’ll miss a good bit of this one.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
