Watching Golf This Week: Waste Management Phoenix Open, Antlers Optional

Since we’re a bit late getting this week’s golf-watching post done, we can heartily recommend the Tour’s newly jazzed up Shot Tracker feature for following tournaments when there’s no live TV — we are mesmerized by Phil Mickelson’s opening 29 in Phoenix, and the Shot Tracker group watch gives you a really cool view of how the shots are played, graphically, on each hole. The screen shot to the left here doesn’t really do it justice, so go to the page and check it out yourself. The groups page is mesmerizing, with shots updating in real time. Wonder if this could ever have live video… how wild would that be?

In the meantime… make sure you stock up on your deer antler extract because it’s going to be a long weekend of golf, which you will probably be watching as much as possible to get away from more Super Bowl preview material. Phil is clearly off to a hot start, who will join him? Not Vijay, who withdrew due to “back problems.” Sure.

Watching Golf This Week: Phil’s Tax Advice, the Farmers Insurance Open and More Golf Online… if you have Comcast

January 24, 2013 by 2 Comments

Too bad Phil Mickelson’s such a nice guy — nobody can really stay mad at him for long, even if he makes Latrell Sprewell-type remarks about the money woes of a millionaire. Maybe you heard about Phil’s kinda tax-rant from this past weekend? Wednesday the guy everyone loves to love in golf rebounded with a press conference where he blamed himself for saying dumb things, tossed in a few jokes and everything was OK. But we know the golf media — just watch the next time Phil wins, there will be a lame lead about “his tax burden increasing.” You read it here first.

What else did you read here first about golf? How about our worldwide scoop from last summer, about how the PGA Tour was going to simulcast all its live TV coverage online this season? Well that story comes true this week with the official kickoff of expanded live online coverage of pro golf’s top tour… that is, if you are a Comcast cable subscriber.

Confused? So are we after reading and re-reading the PGA’s official announcement of its new live streaming feature. Safe to say, the PGA is moving in the direction of having all its live TV available online, but there are a lot of moving contractural parts that haven’t quite been sorted out yet. But hey! It’s moving in the right direction, of MORE GOLF ONLINE. Thank you PGA Tour.

To put it simply: Starting with CBS’s coverage this weekend, all weekend broadcast coverage this season from CBS and NBC should be available online; weekday coverage from Golf Channel is also available online right now IF you have a Comcast cable subscription — and later in the year for other broadband video providers. The lucky Comcast subscribers and others later will also be able to watch live video via mobile devices, through the NBC Sports Live Extra and Golf Live Extra apps. Your best bet if you have questions about where to find live online video is to check out PGATOUR.com every week until this all gets solved and is easy.

No word yet on the Majors but we expect those properties to bust out online extras like they did last year — and since we never got around to giving out our 2012 awards, let’s just say that the online golf coverage champ is still CBS and the Masters, with the U.S. Open and the PGA a close tie for second. (The British Open needs to step up its game, in our opinion.)

And golf this week? That guy Eldrick returns to his favored stomping grounds of Torrey Pines. Now that the Phil “controversy” is out of the way we can go back to the story of the forthcoming year, that of Tiger vs. Rory. And the anchoring ban! Let’s ignore that for now. The overworked golf media can only stand so many controversies at one time.

FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN

Brandt Snedeker. Remember him?

Watching Golf this Week: Get up Early for the CIMB Classic in Malaysia

October 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Quick, turn the channel on now! If you are up way late or up really early there is a chance you may catch live golf this week — including Tiger Woods and Jason Dufner — at the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (I was wondering why big media hitters like Alan Shipnuck were in China this week.) It might not be an official season event (it is sanctioned) but with a $6.1 million purse and $1.3 million to the winner, yeah you’ll get a lot of guys on long plane rides. And the Tour gets exposure in China, where as you can expect there is a lot of golf gear to sell. Win-win. So who will win? Who knows, here’s a link to the field. And remember, it’s live on the Golf Channel every day this weekend from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. Eastern. Think I’ll go catch up on Tiger’s short game before I turn in here on the West Coast, Wednesday evening.

Watching Golf this Week: The McGladrey Classic

October 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment

If you’ve never heard of the McGladrey Classic, don’t feel bad. This third-year event in the PGA’s Fall Series falls way under the radar, but it might have more visibility this year since its host (and head charity driver) is none other than our most recent Ryder Cup Captain, Davis Love III aka DL3. Sea Island, Ga. sounds like a great place to spend a fall weekend, as long as it ain’t raining. But you know a tourney is hurting for publicity when its prime who’s-playing story is the hard luck tale of Jim Furyk’s 2012 season. I bet ol’ Jim wants to spend a lot of time rehashing his last-hole meltdowns this year, don’t you?

Anyway… if you need a golfing break from football and baseball playoffs, hit the Golf Channel between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time anytime this weekend. DL3 will be playing, so will John Daly and Justin Leonard… David Toms and Vijay Singh… you get the picture. Low wattage and lots of scenery.

Watching Golf This Week: Frys.com Open, aka Golf, Silicon Valley Style

October 11, 2012 by 1 Comment

If you aren’t from the San Francisco/San Jose area you may not know who or what Fry’s Electronics is, or why there’s a PGA Tour stop sponsored by something that sounds like a McDonald’s snack. If you do live here, of course, you know all about Fry’s, as the chain of stores is legendary for having been the place where you could buy all the stuff you needed to build your own PC, right down to the individual microprocessors — as well as big bags of Fritos. Chips and chips at Fry’s.

Now everyone hear hardly ever talks about Fry’s anymore, since the stores have kind of devolved into a sort of catch-all low-end cross between a Best Buy (there are washers, dryers and ranges in the back of the Palo Alto store), a music and video store and a place where you can buy all kinds of electronics, cell phones, headsets, and geeky stuff too. Apple stores have long since replaced Fry’s as the places where cool kids hang out. But the Fry’s family still has the bucks to put its name on a PGA Tour stop, so — welcome, pro golfers and the Fall Season. We’re happy to have you. And next year the Frys.com open will be the official tour opener, so this isn’t just some fill-in date. It’s a tourney with Silicon Valley-style growth in mind.

Mobile Sports Report its own busy self will do its best to get down to the course this weekend — thanks to the tourney and the PGA we have a press pass waiting — but if you have cable of course you can watch coverage on the Golf Channel, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Thursday through Sunday. This tourney has some notable names here too, including British Open champ Ernie Els (whose main sponsor SAP is big in Silicon Valley, so to Frys.com Ernie will go) and Nicolas “play what’s in your pants” Colsaerts, who is probably a lock pick for Masters pools next spring given his lights-out play in the opening round of the Ryder Cup. The Frys.com will also see U.S. Captain Davis “Blame Me” Love III playing, alongside vet Vijay Singh. And John Daly! Here’s a list of tee times.

FRYS.COM OPEN

Here’s the deets on the CordeValle course, a classic Robert Trent Jones Jr. track through the oak-studded hills of southern Silicon Valley. (It’s actually south of San Jose.) The club is known mainly as a private refuge for many Silicon Valley uber-rich CEOs. What’s less known is that Santa Clara Valley (the real name of the area) has a bunch of fun wineries, nothing as world-class as Napa or Sonoma but many worth checking out if you are visiting. Two places we like are Thomas Kruse and Kirigin Cellars.

Watching Golf this Week: The Justin Timberlake Shriners Open

October 4, 2012 by 1 Comment

Well we were wrong — the Ryder Cup certainly was good enough TV to make football irrelevant, especially thanks to the epic U.S. team collapse during Sunday’s singles. I can’t remember staying glued to the tube as long as I did Sunday, watching the slow-motion train wreck as formerly talented players like Brandt Snedeker, Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson all went off the rails in spectacular fashion. And now the golf season is over, right?

Wrong! There’s no delay, no time off — it’s time for the Fall Season, a string of events without a lot of front-page drama but a lot of meaning for players near the bottom of the top, the guys trying to keep their Tour card for next season. With Q School eliminated, the four tourneys in the Fall Season are the last chance for pros to secure one of the all-important top 125 spots, so maybe some of the drama of Q School will now fall to the Fall Series.

You will need cable to watch, however, since the major networks are giving the Fall Series a pass. This week’s Justin Timberlake Shriners Open in Las Vegas will be on the Golf Channel, and there won’t be any live online coverage though the excellent Shot Tracker feature is up and running this weekend so at least you can keep track of who’s doing what on the course.
