This year’s Olympic Golf competition begins on Thursday in Tokyo, although that means it starts Wednesday night for everyone tuning in from the States.
The Olympic men’s golf competition is Thursday to Sunday local, although the first round will actually be broadcast beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday night due to the time difference. The entire tournament can be found on Golf Channel.
The Olympic women’s golf competition is Aug. 4-7 local, which means it starts Aug. 3 in the U.S. That will also be live on Golf Channel.
