Now that the silly NFL season opener is out of the way, we can all re-focus on golf on Friday afternoon and evening. The third stop of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the BMW Championship, resumes at 1 p.m. ET and Golf Channel will again have the late afternoon coverage.

The PGA Tour makes a rare late season trip out west, providing a later Friday broadcast from Denver.

A late storm on Thursday suspended play before the first round could conclude, but it came just 10 minutes before the originally scheduled conclusion. There are just nine players left on the course, and the most they have left to finish is two holes. So the second round tee times should not be affected unless there’s more bad weather on Friday morning around Cherry Hills CC. The first tee time will again go off at 1:20 p.m. ET, the two-hour time change and limited 70-man field allowing the Tour to push things back much later than normal for a Friday second round.
McIlroy and Woods
With those later start times and the condensed tee sheet (the entire field is on the course at the same time), the broadcast is pushed back two hours from the usual time Golf Channel carries coverage on Friday afternoons. This rare late-season stop in Colorado allows Golf Channel to come on the air at 4 p.m., and go live until 8 p.m., or perhaps even later if some of the last tee times will go past the schedule. And some of the players in the last few tee times are guys that viewers would want to see, and Golf Channel would stay live for, including Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott. No. 1 in the world and first round co-leader Rory McIlroy does not tee off until just before 3 p.m., so a majority of his round will be played in from of the cameras. Expect them to show his every shot.
If you’re unable to watch on TV, there will be two options to watch online. Golf Channel will have their typical simulcast stream up and running via their LiveExtra service. PGATour.com will have their featured groups stream going at 1:30 p.m., well before the TV coverage comes on the air. Here’s the media schedule for Friday’s second round:
