Emmy-Award winning play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, lead analyst Paul Azinger and analyst Brad Faxon anchor the 18th Tower throughout the championship. Hole announcers Mark Brooks and Steve Flesch and on-course reporters Ken Brown, Juli Inkster, Scott McCarron and Curtis Strange provide insight from a variety of perspectives across Oakmont’s fairways and challenging greens.

Holly Sonders hosts studio coverage alongside Bob Ford, longtime head professional and current director of golf at Oakmont, as well as course design expert Gil Hanse. Rules analyst David Fay, interviewer Shane Bacon and reporter Jaime Diaz also contribute to broadcast coverage.

On the digital front, FOX Sports GO live streams all U.S. Open coverage provided by FS1 and the FOX broadcast network, and offers ‘bonus’ content on three alternate streams created specifically for the event, presenting more than 110 hours of additional coverage. The bonus feeds include two channels following four separate featured groups (two each) and a channel dedicated to featured holes, available daily starting Thursday on FOX Sports GO.

Glad they had the sense to take Greg Norman off their coverage this year. He was terrible. Not nearly as bad as Chris Berman when he covered the Open on ESPN, but still pretty bad.

Fox is definitely doing a good job of getting some good content and events that will draw more eyeballs. If they can keep this up they will stay relevant.

Big 12 football FOX/FS1 get the 1 pick in better weeks, so Ohio State at Oklahoma is on FOX and Texas vs Oklahoma from the Cotton Bowl will be on FS1.

Westminster Dog Show coming to FS1 in February of 2017.

B1G football (25) & basketball (50) will be coming to FS1 in 2017.

Also, the NHRA has been a huge gain for FS1 this year, since picking up the rights. The @NHRA #SummerNats scored 1,068,000 viewers Sunday on @FS1 - up 429% from 2015's 202k; up 734% w/ A18-49.

I actually I thought Norman was OK - Joe Buck on the other hand...not a fan.

Oakmont will be brutal and will be a course that will be much more palatable to watch than last year's crap of a course.
