PGA Championship TV Schedule: Updated Info for Jam-Packed Sunday Action
When clouds straight out of a doomsday movie rolled over the Kiawah Island course during the middle of Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday, Sunday started getting a lot more exciting.
The major championship hopefuls, clouds of terror permitting, will have to get in as many as 29 holes of golf on Sunday. This shakes up the outlook and the TV coverage for the tournament.
It won't change things for the main part of the television coverage. CBS will still pick that up at 2 p.m. ET.
However, TNT will be starting their day much earlier. The USA Today's Steve DiMeglio tweeted out the revised TV schedule.
"PGA Championship will be on TNT from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET. Then CBS takes over at 2 p.m. RT @brianros1:

So now that we've cleared up the viewing schedule, let's take a look at three golfers atop the leaderboard when play was suspended and see what this crazy Sunday has in store for them.
Rory McIlroy -6
I wish I could sit here and tell you with any kind of confidence how McIlroy will perform on Sunday, but his erratic performances make that impossible. This is the same guy that followed up his opening round 67 with a 75 on Friday.
That would have seemed to have left him out of contention, but then he came out and carded five birdies in his first eight holes on Saturday.
He bogeyed the ninth, the last hole he completed, but it still left him tied for the lead. He appears to be in a groove that would carry him to his second major, but with Rory, you just never know.
Vijay Singh -6
No one has to be more upset that the third round was delayed than Vijay Singh. His two-under through seven holes certainly wasn't Saturday's most eye-popping score, but he had just drained a long putt and was tied atop the leaderboard.
Now instead of being able to carry that momentum onto the next hole, he has to wait over night and play more holes on Sunday than anyone else besides his playing partner Tiger Woods.
The problem with this is that Vijay is 49. That is a lot of golf for a back with as many swings on it as Vijay's, and he is no stranger to back issues.
Adam Scott
Scott was fantastic on Saturday as he went four-under through nine holes. That was enough for him to move into the top three and right into the middle of the bright spotlight.
Now Scott has a night to think, and face, questions about his epic meltdown to close the British, and he will have to come back and play 27 holes after all that thinking.
Scott's performance has already shown his mental toughness, but it would be asking too much to expect him to be able to overcome that enough to win.
