The LPGA announced on March 10 that CBS Sports will carry the final round of the Marathon Classic Presented by Owens Corning on July 17 from 4-6 p.m. ET. This means that for four consecutive weeks in July in the run-up to the Olympics, starting with the U.S. Women’s Open, the LPGA will be telecast live on network television.
Bill Macatee will call the final-round action of Marathon with Dottie Pepper joining him in the booth as the lead analyst. Golf Channel will broadcast the first three rounds and produce all four days of coverage.
