Why Does U.S. Coverage Start on Wednesday?
The first round is played Thursday, October 8, in Japan, but that overlaps with Wednesday night in the United States.
During tournament week, Japan is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time and 16 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time. That makes late-evening viewing especially relevant for East Coast fans, while West Coast viewers can tune in during prime time.
If you plan to record the action, search your guide using the U.S. dates in the schedule above. Check whether your recording extends past midnight and allow extra time if your service offers that option.
