NBC prioritizes Travelers Championship coverage during weather delay
Summary

The Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT, faced a nearly 90-minute weather delay in the final round on June 28, 2026. NBC opted to continue airing the championship instead of switching to the scheduled Yankees-Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball coverage, which began at 7 p.m. ET. The delay pushed the Travelers Championship's resumption to 7:20 p.m. ET but did not conclude on Sunday night, as Scottie Scheffler forced a playoff against Viktor Hovland that is set for Monday at 9 a.m. ET. This led to a mixed reaction from baseball fans, many of whom expected to see the entirety of the game.
