Comcast, which offered last year’s U.S. Open golf tournament in 4K, has not said yet if it will provide this year’s event in the format. The cable operator, however, did reveal yesterday that it will show next month’s Summer Olympics games in 4K.

Update: A Comcast spokesperson says the cable op will not have the U.S. Open in 4K.

An AT&T spokesman said it’s too early to say whether DIRECTV will offer the Olympics in 4K.

The Tokyo Olympics begin on July 23 and run through August 8, assuming the games are not postponed or interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic. NBC has said it plans to provide more than 7,000 hours of high-def coverage on its various networks and streaming platforms.

This will be the first time that the Olympics will be available live in 4K.
