Tiger Woods is back!
Quicken Loans National 2016 live stream: How to watch online, TV coverage and more
Hey! We’re going to get some Tiger Woods on the weekend of a PGA Tour event.


Well, he’s present, at least. Tiger will join the CBS broadcast on Sunday during the final round of the Quicken Loans National. We haven’t seen Tiger on the weekend at a PGA Tour event this year, but this is one of the few events hosted by and benefiting his Tiger Woods Foundation. So the Big Cat will be back at Congressional and drop into the CBS booth to yuck it up with Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo for a portion of the final round coverage.
Woods was excellent in the booth back in December as his Hero World Challenge. Those were much darker times too, when he said there was no light at the end of the tunnel in his recovery. We may still not have a return date for Tiger, but at least we know he’s hitting balls and playing full rounds. The last time he was a Sunday analyst in the booth all he could do was walk upright for limited stretches. So maybe we’ll even get a cheerier Cat this time around.
Tiger probably was not pleased, however, when the PGA Tour schedule for this season came out last fall. His annual event in the DC area has the unfortunate position of falling the week after the game’s toughest and most tiring test, the U.S. Open, and just before the WGC event in Akron. Every top player will play the U.S. Open and almost all of the top players will play the WGC-Bridgestone in Akron -- there’s just too many free and easy world rankings points and money at those WGC events. So the Quicken Loans National caught a rough break and was going to be the week that many top names took off for rest in the early stage of a crazy and complicated-by-the-Olympics summer. But Sunday’s leaderboard is a solid mix of bigger names and interesting stories worth watching.
The final round will have the usual weekend split between Golf Channel and CBS. The Golf Channel crew will have the early portion of the coverage, coming on the air at 1 p.m. ET. The leaders are set to tee off at 2:25 p.m. ET, just five minutes before that horrifically annoying blackout period kicks in during the switchover from Golf Channel to CBS. However, the Tour has started routing the international feed they provide to those abroad partners through their PGA Tour Live streaming service during that 30-minute blackout stretch. So while you cannot watch on TV, you can now still catch everything uninterrupted by switching to the live stream during that 30-minute window.
