YouTube TV has joined DIRECTV in announcing it will offer 4K coverage of this week’s U.S. Open golf tournament from the Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

The tournament, which will take place from Thursday, June 16 through Sunday, June 19, will also be available in high-def on NBC, USA Network and Peacock. NBC says it plans to provide more than 100 hours of live high-def coverage.

The live 4K coverage will include play on holes 11, 12 and 13 each day of the tournament. In addition, there will be a 4K feed of NBC’s ‘featured groups’ coverage which will showcase two morning groups of players and two afternoon groups each day of the tournament.
