It would take until 1953 before the first nationally televised Golf tournament. It was the Tam O'Shanter World Championship, played just outside Chicago and televised by ABC. But get this - the owner of the club paid ABC to televise the tournament! The US Open tournament was televised nationally, across the U.S., for the first time in 1954. In 1977, all 18 holes of each of the final two rounds were broadcast live for the first time. And in 1982, all four rounds were televised for the first time.
