Let’s go around the tours and check out the TV schedule for this week in golf.

Around the tours this week a full week of golf awaits us on the heels of the PGA Tour’s THE PLAYERS taking center stage last week

The LPGA is back for the Kingsmill Championship in Virginia, while the Ladies European Tour remains on break until June.

In the men’s game, the Web.com Tour heads to South Carolina for the BMW Charity Pro-Am; the European Tour makes stop one of two in Italy for the Rocco Forte Open and the PGA Tour Champions is in Alabama for the Regions Tradition.

Finally, world No. 1 Dustin Johnson headlines the PGA Tour’s stop in Texas at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

This week also brings us another Feherty with a non-traditional guest stopping to chat with our favorite Irishman.

Without further ado, take a look below at how to get your golf fix this week.

All times Eastern.  Channels are Golf Channel unless noted.

  • noon and 5 p.m. — Feherty replays

If you’re an NBA and PGA Tour fan like me, this week’s episode with Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is for you. If you’re also like me, who missed the episode because you were watching Celtics/Wizards, the Golf Channel provides a couple chances Tuesday (and later in the week) to catch up. Curry discusses his love for the game and we learn how he got to be a 1.6 handicap.

Shia LaBeouf portrays Francis Ouimet, a 20-year-old who miraculously won the 1913 US Open virtually in his backyard in Brookline, Massachusetts. The uplifting story about a working class kid overcoming the odds earned a respectable 63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.5/10 on IMDB.
