Why is there a 30 minute gap between Golf Channel and network TV coverage on weekends?

August 29, 2012 by Total Golf News

QUESTION:
Typically for a non-major golf tournament, weekend coverage is shown on the Golf Channel from 1-2:30pm before CBS/NBC begins coverage from 3pm until the end of the tournament. Why is there a 30 minute gap?

ANSWER:

Answer by Alby
Its likely a payment dispute. Either Golf channel said it would only
pay the PGA for 1-2:30p coverage or CBS said they’ll only pay from
3p-End coverage.
