TV Answer Man, do you know if the U.S. Open golf match will be in 4K and if so, which TV providers will have it in 4K? Will Fubo have it in 4K? — Sandy, Silver Spring, Maryland.
Sandy, the 2023 U.S. Open golf tournament from the Los Angeles Country Club in Los Angeles will take place from tomorrow, June 15, through Sunday, June 18. The event will be available in high-def on NBC, USA Network and Peacock. NBC says it plans to provide more than 200 hours of live high-def coverage. See the TV schedule below.
