Title: Fox snags US Open golf, begins in 2015
Post by: txstateends on August 08, 2013, 08:03:00 PM
A 12-year deal that includes several USGA events, which will air on Fox and their new Fox Sports 1.  No word on who will host or do the commentator roles.  A bit of a surprise, but I guess they have to fill 168 hours a week (on the new channel) with something.

I avoid watching FoX and other offerings from the Murdoch empire as much as possible.  Their NFL coverage is easily the worst of the bunch.
