After anxiously awaiting the return of Tiger Woods, CBS might not be able to show one of his shots live this weekend.
And for good reason: Woods might not be around Saturday.
As of this writing, Woods is in a tie for 81st after yesterday’s 3-over 74. The cut currently is at 2-over.
Woods is set to tee off at 1:12 p.m. ET today. The Golf Channel will be the main beneficiary, covering every shot once the network comes on the air at 2:30 ET.
Woods has some work to do to make the cut. Even if he does, it still might not impact CBS unless he makes a big move today.
If Woods barely advances, he will get an early tee time on Saturday. That means Golf Channel gets him again with its early coverage of the third round at 1 p.m. ET. Woods could be long gone by the time CBS hits the air at 3 p.m. ET.
So Jim Nantz, Nick Faldo and company will be pulling for Woods to throw up a 65 today. C’mon, Tiger.
