Golf Channel will carry all four rounds of the 2026 Baycurrent Classic live from Yokohama Country Club in Yokohama, Japan, with coverage running overnight in the U.S. because of the time difference. The tournament runs Wednesday through Sunday, Oct. 7-11, for an $8 million purse that pays $1.44 million to the winner.
What channel is the Baycurrent Classic on?
Golf Channel has exclusive U.S. television rights, with Golfchannel.com and the Golf Channel app simulcasting the broadcasts. Because Thursday-Sunday rounds in Japan fall on Wednesday-Saturday nights in the Eastern time zone, coverage windows run late.
| Round | U.S. air date | Time (ET) |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Wednesday, Oct. 7 | 11 p.m.-3 a.m. |
| Round 2 | Thursday, Oct. 8 | 11 p.m.-3 a.m. |
| Round 3 | Friday, Oct. 9 | 11 p.m.-3 a.m. |
| Round 4 | Saturday, Oct. 10 | 11 p.m.-3 a.m. |
Which groups are featured in the first two rounds?
Defending champion Xander Schauffele, the World No. 10, headlines a field that also includes reigning U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark and three-time major champion Jordan Spieth. Featured tee times (ET) for the marquee groups:
| Group | Round 1 | Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan Spieth, Min Woo Lee, Sungjae Im | 8:18 p.m. | 9:24 p.m. |
| Xander Schauffele, Jacob Bridgeman, Collin Morikawa | 8:29 p.m. | 9:35 p.m. |
| Wyndham Clark, Justin Thomas, Adam Scott | 9:24 p.m. | 8:18 p.m. |
| Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler | 9:35 p.m. | 8:29 p.m. |
Groups flip starting times between the first two rounds, a standard practice so no half of the field plays exclusively in the morning or afternoon window.
