2016 PGA Championship on SiriusXM

NEW YORK, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM will offer listeners nationwide comprehensive play-by-play and talk coverage of the 2016 PGA Championship, taking place July 28-31 on the Lower Course at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J.  PGA Championship programming will air on Sirius channel 208 and XM channel 92.

Live hole-by-hole coverage, which SiriusXM will co-produce with Westwood One, will air from 12:00 pm-7:00 pm ET all four days of Championship play, for a total of 28 hours of live coverage from the course on satellite radios and on the SiriusXM app.

The broadcast will be hosted by veteran play-by-play voice Bob Papa, with PGA Professional Charlie Rymer serving as the analyst in the booth. Former tour professionals Mark Carnevale, John Maginnes and Dennis Paulson, and broadcasters Fred Albers, Doug Bell and Bill Rosinski will provide live commentary from around the course.

The PGA Championship has one of the strongest fields in golf and currently has commitments from 98 of the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Rankings. The Championship is returning for the second time to Baltusrol, which has been the venue for many major championships dating back to 1903. The A.W. Tillinghast-designed Lower Course first hosted the PGA Championship in 2005, when it was won by Phil Mickelson for his second major championship victory. 

"It has been an exciting and dramatic year thus far in major-championship golf and golf fans are eager for it to continue at the PGA Championship," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "It will be a terrific event at an outstanding course, and our broadcasts will give fans extensive coverage from inside the ropes all four days of play, as well as an insider's perspective on the Championship from two-time winner Dave Stockton and others."
