One of my favorite events of the year is golf's British Open. The action in golf's oldest major starts Thursday morning at Muirfield with all four rounds on ESPN. We don't see ESPN cover too many golf tournaments, but with talent like Mike Tirico, Scott Van Pelt, Andy North, and especially Peter Alliss it's a terrific annual broadcast. In addition to the golf coverage, SportsCenter will have regular updates with Scott Van Pelt and Andy North. This week's coverage will also see former British Open champ David Duval join the ESPN team.
