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

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.
