Tiger and Phil go back-to-back on Saturday at The Open

Wake up and have breakfast with Tiger Woods at The Open on Saturday.

A sizable 79 players made the cut at the Open. For a cut rule that slots at the top 70 and ties, that’s one of the bigger numbers you are going to get at a major. On the PGA Tour, they have a secondary Saturday cut when a large number makes it through to the weekend. There is obviously no secondary cut at golf’s oldest major championship and there is also no need for it.

That’s because Scotland is working with some 17 hours of daylight this time of year. Carnoustie is the northernmost course in the Open rota, only adding to the luxury of daylight this championship often enjoys. There’s so much light that even getting the 156 players through the first two days is never really a problem. And that includes sending the entire field off the first tee. The 156-player fields at the U.S. Open and PGA Championship are jammed into groups of three off split tees for sun-up to sun-down golf the first two days. At the open, we get groups of three rolling off No. 1 from about 6:30 a.m. until after 4 p.m. local.

Once that cut is made, there’s obviously even greater room to work for the R&A. The Open is often impacted by weather, but almost never electric weather that would cause a suspension of play. High winds have been known to stop things but that’s really it. This weekend’s forecast looks clear enough and the 79-player field won’t start on Saturday until after 9 a.m. local in Carnoustie. That’s 4 a.m. back in the eastern U.S.

The anchor pairing of Kevin Kisner and Zach Johnson will go at 11 a.m. on the number, or 4 p.m. local. The R&A is also usually good about keeping pace of play right around four hours. Don’t expect Kisner and Johnson to come in much after 3 p.m. ET, which is when NBC is scheduled to go off the air on Saturday. It may be a little after that, but the pace should be close to four hours.

Tiger Woods is toward the bottom half of the draw at even-par. He tees off at 8:15 a.m. ET and will play his full round during the NBC coverage window. Golf Channel has the early coverage from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. Tiger draws the relatively unknown and untested Shaun Norris, who will play surrounded by a circus with which he’s never encountered. To make the crowd cluster even more intense, Phil Mickelson will be playing just one group ahead. Expect to see all of their shots on NBC, especially before those leaders get on the course.
