The annual PGA Tour stop on the Monterey Peninsula is always going to be the most beautiful week on tour, but the 2015 edition has been a particularly cruel form of torture for the large portion of the country frozen and buried under snow. The weather has been absolutely perfect for the entire week, with temperatures well above their average for this time of year, the wind down and no sign of clouds anywhere on the Pacific coast. That’s usually not the case for this event in February. Last year, the tournament was consistently delayed and became a bit of a scheduling nightmare thanks to cold temperatures, high winds and rain that made conditions miserable for everyone.

CBS and Golf Channel have the final round at Pebble, where the broadcast is often the subject of scorn and criticism thanks to the many non-golf divergences.


But this year has been perfect and Sunday should be another broadcast full of shots of the course and the surrounding areas and wildlife. That tends to get the golf purists, those tuning in to see the pros compete for a tour title, irritated. Given the celebrities (and that term is used loosely sometimes at this event) and all the local beauty available for camera shots, there’s a ton of time used up on a non-golf matters at this broadcast each year.
The Saturday broadcast at Pebble is the worst thing CBS puts on all year. And have you seen Two Broke Girls?

— Tron Carter (@TronCarterNLU) February 14, 2015 That was the common refrain on Twitter Saturday during the third round. CBS will have the broadcast again for the fourth and final round, and given that there’s an actual PGA Tour title on the line, it should be a little better and heavier on golf shots. The field is also cut down dramatically from the half-pro, half-am setup that played Pebble the first three days of this event. There are just 25 ams left and 64 pros left following the Saturday night cut down.
Even with a much smaller field for Sunday, the tour still sends the players out early on Pebble. The last tee time is just after 10 a.m. local time. The tee sheet is a mix of twosomes, threesomes and foursomes, with those 25 remaining amateurs scattered in where it makes the most sense to keep the pace of play moving.
But the rounds, as usual, still push the five-hour mark here so the final foursome with leaders Jim Furyk, Matt Jones, and their amateur partners will tee off at 1:05 p.m. ET. The target is a 6 p.m. finish on CBS. That’s an ambitious target given that Furyk is renowned for being one of the slowest players on Tour and now he’s saddled with two amateur hackers and a winless streak that gnaws at him on every Sunday shot.
Sunday’s broadcast schedule will be the usual split arrangement between Golf Channel and CBS. There will be an early 90 minutes of coverage on GC, before Jim Nantz and friends bring it home. This is one of Nantz’s favorite events of the year -- he has a home in the area and it’s played on a world class course he knows and loves, as opposed to the weekly drudgery of TPC courses. So he brings out the vintage ammo when it comes to his attire. Last year’s turtleneck-sweater-blazer combo was followed this year by an argyle under his blazer in sunny warm conditions.
