SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — The television broadcast schedule for the 2023 KPMG Women’s PGA at Baltusrol includes uninterrupted coverage presented by Callaway for the final hour on NBC on Sunday. This marks the first time the Women’s PGA will feature commercial-free coverage.
The overall broadcast package this year takes a big step as NBC Sports brings a record 26 hours of coverage from Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. That’s almost double the number of hours (14) from last year at Congressional, where fans missed out on much of the final round as well as much of eventual champion In Gee Chun’s opening 64.
Last year, the weekend coverage was exclusive to NBC and featured three hours each day. This year, coverage starts at 11 a.m. ET on Peacock Saturday and picks up on NBC from 3-6 p.m.
In addition, there’s five hours of onsite pre-tournament coverage from noon to 5 p.m. E.T. on Tuesday and Wednesday as well as one hour of onsite pre-round and post-round coverage Thursday to Sunday.
“I think we were all like-minded on it,” said LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan on the priority of extending television hours for this major.
“Let’s do everything we can do to get more hours and get more exposure. I think there wasn’t pushback on any level. We all agreed it was something we needed to do and make a commitment to that, and I think we all know it really matters. I think we still have a ways to go.”
