Pga golf championship 2017 coverage

Hi,so was looking forward to watching the final major this weekend.But a little confused of why there is no coverage on sky of this? It seems to be exclusively on the bbc,but looking at the tv listings it looks to be on for only a hour are so every night live.Couple of questions please of anyone can help is it live on the red button are something?Plus why would a major tournament be limited to a red button if it is the case?thanks in advance

First crack in the Sky Fortress??

PGA wanted upwards of 10 million for coverage, Sky said no , and BBC ended up getting it for 200k.
Sky are cutting cost though , small things like cricket commentators having to share rooms on tour for instance.

Brilliant start for Sky's re-branded golf channel

Thanks people! Thought I was missing a trick when it was not on sky! Quite embarrassing at 200k.Just shows that there throwing money at one sport alone now.They even cancelled my fishing programme I used to watch on Fridays the tight asses haha

Tip for the PGA- put all the money you want on this;
Justin Thomas- 66/1 E/W

[CBT]

Koepka my tip only 12/1 but Ladbrokes paying 7 places e/w and he's been playing good stuff last few weeks
