Ryder Cup 2016: Live TV schedule and times for Saturday’s matches

The 2016 Ryder Cup heads to the weekend, and if the final two days are as good as the first, the tournament is headed for a spectacular finish. Day 1 of the Ryder Cup set a high bar with both teams having their moments to shine. There were great shots, better responses and an electric atmosphere. While the level of golf remains to be seen, it should be more of the same atmosphere on Saturday as fans pack the concourse at Hazeltine National Golf Club.

NBC will handle television coverage on Saturday with 10 hours of live TV coverage planned. That will allow viewers to watch nearly every shot live. The coverage will begin slightly after players hit the course in the morning, but fans aren’t likely to miss more than a couple holes before the broadcast begins. Coverage will start at 9 a.m. ET and continue until at least 7 p.m.

The first pairings are scheduled to tee off at 8:35 a.m. with the second going at 8:50 a.m. Those two groups will be a hole or two into their matches when NBC comes on. The final two matches — including Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed — will tee off after coverage has already started.

In addition to the main television coverage, NBC will also provide a pair of live streams. There will be a simulcast stream that will allow viewers to watch the TV broadcast live online. There will also be a stream dedicated to the first tee box. That stream will begin at 8 a.m., allowing viewers to catch some extra live golf before TV coverage begins.

The United States set a high bar for foursomes on Friday, sweeping all four matches to jump out to a 4-0 lead. Team Europe regained its composure in the afternoon and won three of the four fourball matches to make for a tightly contested 5-3 United States lead heading into Day 2. There will be a total of eight more points on the line on Saturday. The first four will be up for grabs in morning foursomes before the second four points are on the line in afternoon fourball.

NBC will be there to provide coverage of all the big moments as the United States tries to position itself for its first Ryder Cup win since 2008. Here is a complete look at the Day 2 television coverage. All times Eastern.
