Americans to get live TV coverag of
Women's British Open from 2010

All four rounds of the Women’s British Open will be televised live in the United States for the first time, beginning in 2010.
ESPN and the Ladies Golf Union, organisers of the women's professional major tournament, have agreed to an eight-year contract. The deal includes digital coverage and expanded rights for ESPN International.
A same-day encore will air Sunday on ABC, the broadcast partner of ESPN.
TV coverage of the Women’s British Open in the United States has been split between TNT and ABC.
“The LPGA is extremely pleased with this new television agreement for the Ricoh Women’s British Open,” said Carolyn Bivens, the commissioner of the LPGA.
“This broadcast arrangement for the only women’s major held outside the United States simply reinforces the remarkable international growth of women’s golf.”
