How to watch Sunday’s Travelers Championship online, TV schedule and more

Jim Nantz is back! After last week’s most unorthodox diversion to Joe Buck, Greg Norman and FOX, golf returns to its more traditional broadcast partner Sunday at the Travelers. You could feel the excitement and emotion in Nantz’s voice on Saturday when he told his partner, Nick Faldo, how great it was to be back with him after a couple weeks away (the two did not call the St. Jude Classic the week before the U.S. Open).

The Travelers falls in a tough spot on the schedule. Most big name players do not want to play the week after a major championship, especially when that major is the “toughest test in golf.” Keegan Bradley, the New England native who is actually playing this week in Hartford, said he was mentally exhausted from the U.S. Open. It’s just not an ideal time to hold a tournament and expect to draw a deep field. But the Travelers is one of the more innovative and aggressive tournaments on the Tour, pouring money into promotion and always trying to find new ways to get more of the best players to make the trip. That trip was all the way across country this year, but they still head to Sunday with a first page leaderboard that includes Bubba Watson, Brandt Snedeker, Zach Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Billy Horschel.

It’s a good field and some of the biggest names have crept up the leaderboard, which is topped by Brian Harman at 14-under. Because heavy overnight rains in the forecast, the Tour pushed tee times back for the final round. They will send them off split tees in groups of three in a condensed two-hour window. That should not affect the scheduled finish, with the final group getting to the 18th green just before 6 p.m. ET on CBS.

If you’re unable to get in front of a TV for the finale, there will be multiple ways to watch online. CBS and Golf Channel, which will have its usual early-round coverage, will provide simulcast streams throughout the afternoon. PGATour.com also brought their Live At coverage back this week and set up a featured holes stream. It’s on one of the best the Tour has to offer -- the drivable par-4 15th at TPC River Highlands. The tournament can often swing at this hole on Sunday as players bomb away at an excellent eagle chance. We nearly saw Graham DeLaet, who sits just one shot back of Harman, make just the second hole-in-one on a par-4 in PGA Tour history earlier this weekend. It played to just 277 yards on Saturday.

So that’s a fun alternative stream. Here are all your media options for Sunday’s final round:

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

3 to 6 p.m. -- CBS

12:30 to 6 p.m. -- PGATour.com featured holes stream (drivable par-4 15th)

1 to 2:30 p.m. -- Golf Channel LiveExtra simulcast stream
