NEW YORK, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM will
offer listeners nationwide comprehensive play-by-play and talk
coverage of the 2016 PGA Championship, taking place July 28-31 on the Lower Course at Baltusrol Golf
Club in Springfield, N.J.
PGA Championship programming will air on Sirius channel 208
and XM channel 92.
Live hole-by-hole coverage, which SiriusXM will co-produce with
Westwood One, will air from 12:00 pm-7:00 pm
ET all four days of Championship play, for a total of 28
hours of live coverage from the course on satellite radios and on
the SiriusXM app.

The PGA Championship has one of the strongest fields in golf and
currently has commitments from 98 of the top 100 players in the
Official World Golf Rankings. The Championship is returning for the
second time to Baltusrol, which has been the venue for many major
championships dating back to 1903. The A.W.

Championship in 2005, when it was won by Phil Mickelson for his second major championship
victory.

major-championship golf and golf fans are eager for it to continue
at the PGA Championship," said Scott
Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer.

our broadcasts will give fans extensive coverage from inside
the ropes all four days of play, as well as an insider's
perspective on the Championship from two-time winner Dave Stockton and others."
