CBS SPORTS TRAVELS ANOTHER PATH WITH "ROAD TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP" ON SUNDAY, JULY 25

CBS Sports travels a slightly different path than it usually takes each March as it airs THE ROAD TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP on Sunday, July 25 (2:00-3:00 PM, ET).  The road to a golfing major title has many twists and turns.  For 312 PGA professionals, it began at the 43rd PGA Professional National Championship in French Lick, Ind.  Only the top 20 survive and move on. Hosted by CBS Sports Bill Macatee, THE ROAD TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP chronicles their journey into golf's final major of the year.  CBS Sports' Chris Svendsen serves as coordinating producer.

 

Harold Bryant is Vice President of Production, CBS Sports.
