Ebersol: "This is a unique golf-television event that for the first time brings together the two premiere voices in the game...Johnny Miller, who I have had a special relationship with for many years, and Nick Faldo.

It is the first shared coverage for NBC Sports and Golf Channel since both organizations became members of the NBC Sports Group on Jan. 28 when the Comcast-NBCUniversal transaction was completed.
Dick Ebersol, chairman, NBC Sports Group said "There are very few channels whose name delivers exactly what the brand promises. Beginning with Arnold Palmer and Joe Gibbs 16 years ago, Golf Channel has built a strong brand by covering the sport with passion and authenticity, which made re-branding all NBC Sports golf coverage as 'Golf Channel on NBC' an easy decision. Our plan is to grow Golf Channel by exposing it to new viewers through the broad reach of the network and the unprecedented cross-promotional power of NBCUniversal."
Its signature news program, Golf Central, will wrap live tournament coverage all week. In all, NBC Sports Group will exceed 55 hours of coverage for WGC-Match Play.
In addition to live coverage of the WGC-Match Play, Golf Channel will replay 18 total hours of the tournament in prime time throughout the week. The network's new morning show, Morning Drive, will have additional, live airings for 60 minutes leading into Wednesday's coverage and 30 minutes each leading into Thursday and Friday's coverage.

In addition to branding, Golf Channel's coverage of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship also will benefit from generous promotional support from NBCUniversal's family of TV networks and websites. WGC-Accenture has been identified as a cross-channel priority by the NBCUniversal Marketing Council.
"GOLF CHANNEL ON NBC": All golf coverage on NBC will be re-branded as "Golf Channel on NBC." The coverage will incorporate the Golf Channel look throughout every telecast, down to the logo on the NBC Sports commentators' apparel. Golf Channel's tournament graphics will be showcased throughout all coverage, which now includes a custom-made Golf Channel-NBC peacock combination logo.
