Around the tours, with 5 major pro Tours at work, tv broadcasts of our game are returning to Golf Channel this week.

Around the Tours the players are getting back to a more normal schedule after a week or more of Masters Tournament frenzy. For golf fans, that means flipping back to Golf Channel, our home away from our golf club home!

We’ll be able to enjoy the full diversity of the pro game, with tv coverage of five different events: the PGA TOUR RBC Heritage, the LPGA LOTTE Championship, the European Tour Trophee Hassan II, the Ladies European Tour Lalla Meyrem Cup, and the PGA Champions Tour Mitsubishi Electric Classic.

Let me alert you two two Sunday programs you may want to catch – or at least record for later viewing, since most of us are going to be glued to CBS Sports on Sunday for the Masters Sunday extravaganza. As always, the broadcast times are listed in ET – you’ll need to make the conversion to your own time zone.

  • 2pm (repeated at 4:30pm) – Seve: The Movie
  • 9pm – Jack: The Prodigy, begins a 3-night Jack Nicklaus documentary that draws on interviews and archived film to trace Jack’s public and private life.

  • 4pm – Jack’s Sixth Green Jacket (just in case you haven’t gotten your fill of Masters Tournament lore)
  • 5 and 8pm – Jack: The Prodigy (repeats)
  • 9pm (repeated at 10pm and 11pm) – Jack, Prime
