Possible PGA TOUR Television Network?

(From Golfworld)

PGA TOUR Commissioner TIM FINCHEM indicated that the tour "might follow the NFL and NBA by launching its own television network, with the revamped schedule in 2007 providing the likely jumping-off point for such a venture," according to GOLFWEEK.

Finchem "stressed that the tour would have to come up with enough programming to keep the network going year round.
A few late-season events aren't enough."

Meanwhile, with CBS and ABC/ESPN "concentrating on other commitments," the PGA TOUR "is trying to woo NBC" into taking the new TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.

Tom Blais, thanks for the post.
