This year, the agreement with NBCU will allow the USGA to continue the uninterrupted coverage it provides to television fans thanks to its longstanding partnership with Rolex. In 2021, eight of the USGA’s televised championships, including the U.S. Women’s Open and the U.S. Amateur will air uninterrupted. The final hour of the U.S. Open will be presented in a similar manner.
