The Loop
Your 2014 Ryder Cup viewing guide. . .it's live!
We are getting what we've asked for: live Ryder Cup coverage. No tape, no delays, no scanning the internet for streaming coverage or worse, scores. There is one potentially fun wrinkle, however: alternate coverage. Golf Channel is serving up David Feherty in all of his traitorous pro-America rooting along with Gary Williams and a revolving cast of former Ryder Cup captains with images from the Ryder Cup world feed.
If you're an app person, the Ryder Cup, NBC Sports and Golf Channel Live apps should be updated to ensure best technical experience.
Without further ado, your 2014 Ryder Cup consumption options (all times ET):
