RBC Canadian Open 2012: TV Schedule, Tee Times, Parings For Thursday

One week after winning the 2012 British Open across the pond, Ernie Els will try to win the PGA Tour's signature event in the country lovingly referred to as "America's Hat." Els headlines the field at the 2012 RBC Canadian Open, which begins Thursday, July 26 and runs through Sunday, July 29 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario.

Els will be joined by Hunter Mahan, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker, among many other players in the field, and Els is paired with Kuchar and Vijay Singh over the first two rounds. Mahan is paired with defending champion Sean O'Hair, while Jim Furyk, who won the 2005 Canadian Open, the last iteration of the event to be played at HG&CC, will tee off bright and early at 8:20 a.m. ET.

The schedule of TV coverage for the 2012 RBC Canadian Open will take fans to The Golf Channel from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. ET and from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. ET. Radio coverage is also available via Sirius-XM from noon to 6:00 p.m. ET.
