PGA Tour on ABC was the de facto branding used for telecasts of the main professional golf tournaments of the PGA Tour on ABC Sports in the United States until 2006.[1] ABC broadcast at least one PGA Tour event from 1962 to 2009, focusing before 1995 on the majors, with ABC serving as the primary television partner of the PGA Tour from 1999 until 2006.
From 1962[2] to 2009, ABC served as the American broadcast home of The Open Championship. The British Open on ABC was the longest-running entertainment program in ABC's history and the last-surviving ABC program to debut in the "circle a" era. ABC also held the broadcast rights of the US Open[3] from 1966 through 1994.[4] and the PGA Championship from 1965 until 1990.
