How to watch Sunday’s AT&T Byron Nelson Classic live online, TV schedule, radio and more

The PGA Tour settles in for the second-leg in a rain-soaked two-week stretch in the Dallas area this week at the annual Byron Nelson. Some of the game’s best players have come from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and the godfathers from there are Nelson and Ben Hogan. These back-to-back tourneys, at Colonial and now in Dallas at the Nelson, are an annual homage to those two legends.

The next great talent from the Dallas area will headline again this week. Jordan Spieth, who made his national debut at this event back in 2010, may never reach the level of Hogan or Nelson, but he’s getting hyped as a future legend thanks to his resume at 21-years-old. The hype really started five years ago, when the 16-year-old Spieth received an amateur exemption to the Nelson, showed up and then made the cut. He started Sunday inside the top 10 (!) before finishing in a tie for 16th. The next year, he returned and made the cut again.

In the intervening years, Spieth has justified much of the hype and attention he got as a teenage prospect. That obviously crescendoed in April at Augusta, and now he’s an international superstar recognized well beyond his hometown event.

He’ll play the first two rounds with Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka, which, for golf nerds who follow these things closely, is one of the tastier groupings of the entire season. All three are considered among the top talents of the next generation of American golfers.

Spieth has his major, Koepka already has a win this year and Thomas is a 145-pound Alabama product who destroys the ball off the tee and has been in contention weekly his first season on Tour. All three are fun to follow off the course and much is expected from them in the coming years on the course. The Tour grabbed an easy win by putting them all together this week.

The Byron Nelson sometimes gets lost in the shuffle during the down stretch between The Players and the U.S. Open. Most pros know they have a busy summer coming, so they take a few weeks off before that pre-U.S. Open stretch.

Some of the international stars, who play regularly in the States, go back to Europe for the BMW PGA, that tour’s marquee event. So the two-step in Dallas has receded in prestige a bit over the decades due to its unfavorable spot on the schedule. Nelson and Hogan aren’t around to command these players’ attention and patronage.

But this week -- at least the first two rounds -- is worth watching for that Spieth-Thomas-Koepka group alone. Their Thursday round will fall largely in the TV broadcast window on Golf Channel. They tee off at 2 p.m. ET, and GC will go live at 4 p.m.

The weather, which persistently disrupted Colonial last week, is supposed to be bad again at TPC Four Seasons in Irving. So we may get repeated delays, tee times bumped up and the potential for tape-delayed coverage on the weekends, which is never ideal. The course started the week under water and more storms across all four days, as is forecasted, won’t help.

In addition to the usual Golf Channel-CBS split in TV coverage, PGATour.com is bringing back its “Live At” streams for the week. That will start as a featured holes stream for the first two rounds and then switch to featured groups streams on the weekend. Expect Spieth to be in there if he makes the cut, which has to happen, right? Here are all your media options for the week in Dallas:

4 to 7 p.m. -- Golf Channel

4 to 7 p.m. -- Golf Channel simulcast stream

1 to 2:30 p.m. -- Golf Channel

3 to 6 p.m. -- CBS
